Many companies have proprietary apps that we're developed for a particular browser (IE6), thus they stick with that browser instead of upgrading and then having to spend a fortune to update the app!
One of the goals of a website should be to make the website accessible/viewable to as many users as possible! Thus is why it's important to know your target audience and the tools they use!
Just my 2¢ here.
