The dominant user feedback is the hard statistics on how rarely it's used.
You can't trim the space of "users" to just "people who already adopted the technology" in the context of the cost of browser support.

Yes excellent way to continue to diminish users of tech you don’t agree with.
“The people who actually use it are wrong and don’t matter!”
I'm not personally in the business of maintaining a browser.
But if I were, and I were looking to decrease cost of maintenance, "This entire rendering framework that supports a 0.02% use case" would be an outlier for chopping-block consideration. Not all corner-case features match that combination of cost-to-maintain and adoption (after, what, decades at this point?).
We wouldn't be arguing the point if the feature in question were fax machine support, right?
Yes we would because people still use fax machines.
I don’t understand this “everything must be a business metric because it can, therefor if I can whittle any feature as a small minority, I am forever correct and just in destroying said technology. Look at smart and savvy I am.”
Totally brain dead.
