Well, after being responsible for Office 365, what could possibly go wrong?
Going back to what the summary says, IE is usually present on the systems _that haxors want to compromise_.
Corporate machines, which have IE because they are chained to legacy systems that once required it.
Corporate machiens, where access is available to much more valuable data than some grandma's Hotmail password.
Perhaps it's the company which develops the user interface that wants to foist this "one size fits all" model on people, because:
1. They simply don't want to have to keep up with development for both, in terms of effort and cost.
2. They want to herd everyone into a walled garden, so content can all be monetized (in their favor).
3. They want to herd everyone into a walled garden, so the OS can control the machine without having to ask too many questions about it.
It's like that centuries-old saying gunga-gunga-gunga-galunga. Which translated from the classical tongue means, "If your auntie had balls she'd be your uncle."

It's hard to think of why you'd be interested in Nintendo if you were > age 10, unless you are interested in Mario or Pokemon
And yet, IE remains.
Does that mean Putin will get a peace prize for stopping Obama's warmongering in Syria?
Well, there are numerous parties we can blame here. Certainly the NSA, but what about the advertising companies? They build leaky software, and they make their money by harvesting information you don't know you're sending or don't wish to be sending to them anyway.
Shouldn't these fly by night outfits that serve ads on the internet and trade in your personal information have some responsibility to protect it?
