Why would developers care about a browser that their users don't use?

Can you imagine if retail stores where made in a way that 3% of customers couldn't use them?

If there's no law saying they have to support those 3% of customers, and supporting the 3% costs more than the 3% bring in, then yeah they won't bother.

Because if "Firefox/100.0" reveals a bug, the bug may also trigger when other browsers introduce a similar change.
