It's easy, friend. Two reasons:

a) most people simply don't care. period. IE6 (or whatever the OS opens when they double-click "internet") will let them read news or check email. b) Their Large Corporation, Inc., has a policy against open source, and they don't have admin privileges anyway.

I've been sticking with 2 as a way of forcing myself to be careful about writing performant code. That way the app I'm writing has a better chance of being fast in the next generation of browsers. This is important. I could of course just use 2 for testing, but I find that doesn't have quite the same psychological effect.
