Windows 7 is already down to ~3% of Desktop browsers on Windows and Android 6 or older represent even less than that as a share of the Android version. 2-3 browsers out of 100 probably spells trouble for e.g. government sites but by the time these are outdated enough versions to cause real concern for normal sites it might even be down farther. When IE 8 was still 30% of the share it made sense to put the extra time into it, when legacy become so low the opportunity cost of holding the whole site years back or maintaining multiple versions is hard to justify.

I wonder if we will have to handle more outdated browsers soon, now that Chrome dropped support for Windows 7/8 and older Androids.
