What's internet explorer's market share? Answer: way less than a percent at this point because current market shares are no guarantee about future ones.
Chrome is the new Internet Explorer. It successfully replaced it. Only to start sharing most of the qualities that were the reason for Internet Explorer to fail in the market. And there was a web before Internet Explorer as well.
Chrome once started at 0% market share. Displacing the dominant browser has been done before. It can be done again.
Web pages that only worked with Internet Explorer did not age very well. Companies ended up spending a lot on needing to replace those. Making a webapp that only works with Chrome is at this point seriously misguided. If only for the simple reason that you can forget about IOS compatibility if you do (as long as Apple keeps a death grip on the app stores, there will be no chromium based HTML rendering on IOS).

The size of the audience is not the same, the size of companies and engineering teams is not the same, the hatred against Microsft was always sky-high... It is not the same battle , it is not even the same battlefield.
