Re: we have all these addicts and are going to stop selling them drugs...
It is probably more complex than that given Idiot Explorer's notoriously erratic support of the web standards. With some versions of IE (~6), the support was so bad that one almost had to write a web page twice: Idiot Explorer compliant and standards compliant.
The real problem is too many PHBs with a sort of workable idea demanded the coding was done to IE standards only and not web compliant. Looking at the scores for HTML5 compliance for major browsers at html5test.com, all versions of IE poorly support html5.
