Every day, thousands of Android handsets are sold with a default browser that will likely never see a major upgrade. Why would you disregard that while criticizing Mobile Safari for its update policy, a browser on a OS which actually does receive updates? Hundreds of millions of people use IE8 to browse the web. Many of them use XP, so they can't upgrade to IE9. Less than 3 years a go, computers with Windows XP were still for sale. IE8 is going to be around for a long time. Many Android handsets will never see an update. Even if as of today, all Android handsets were sold with Chrome (which is a far cry from reality), it would take at least 3 years before we can stop developing for Android Browser. Do you know how many people use a 2 year old version of Mobile Safari? Very few. You can stop developing for it right now. That's why Mobile Safari isn't anything like IE6.
