Sure, wasn't making any comment as to whether it's okay to ignore 10%, just that 30% <IE10 is probably an overstatement.
As for whether it's okay to ignore... I guess it really depends. I actually ended up writing a mobile web-app with Cordova, so obviously my target market had no old IE in there. It might also be true that people on old IE are people on old hardware, the type like my dad who never does any ecommerce at all, and who may not be very lucrative visitors anyway.
Anyway I wonder if someone has some actual data on this, I can make up some assumptions but I really don't have a clue. I do often read that China and Russia are big IE markets (lots of windows XP and lots of websites that still use activex stuff). It'd be interesting to see which markets are high on <IE10 and what the average value (e.g. ad or ecommerce) per user from different browsers is.
Just checked on my own website, target audience are mostly 30-40 year old moms in OECD countries. <5% IE, and virtually all IE10/11. Just 5% IE9 and barely anything below. (mostly West-European audience.)
