That isn't realistically fixable unless companies are really willing to invest a lot more in testing. Most companies don't even have any user testing for products beyond what devs do on their own machines.
I realize that, it just put the entire software industry into perspective for me. We are building products for users that can afford to interface with them, and even then, it's not a guarantee that you're gonna get a great experience.
Here's to hoping that neither you or I ever become that irrelevant, because that doesn't look like a pretty existence to me.

For a government service, testing of older/lower performance devices should be part of the initial contract.
It often is, but will be tested to a "yes, it is technically possible" level.

How about devs who say "oh, its IE, its only 1% so we don't care"? What is the point of testing something that you know is not supported anyways?
