Re: Complete coincidence
It is important to note that IE's share is "fragmented" across five major versions - each of which is incompatible with all the others. And they are bound to the OS version in such a way that most versions are not available to everybody.
There are different versions of Chrome too, but they all work pretty much the same. And they can all update to the latest version on any OS, OS version or hardware.
The "versions" of IE really shouldn't be lumped together. The point is the relative market strength of each browser to the developer. In that sense IE is actually five different browsers, not five versions of one browser. Each must be supported individually or not at all.
