According to Cloudflare, there are almost no users still on MSIE of any version.[0]
Statcounter says there are about 4.6% of iOS users still on iOS 16.[1]
My gut instinct is that there are multiple times more people using iOS 16 today than MSIE of any version.

I visited a distillery in 2020. Their machines were managed by HP laptops running Windows XP. Those machines and those laptops and that Windows XP are probably still there with their old IE browser.
They will probably be there for as long as the capacitors last, but the critical thing is that they are almost certainly running some Win32 industrial process software with no need for web browsers or for that matter even Internet connectivity. In fact I hope they’re not on wifi given the state of legacy WinXP security!
Those machines are probably not connected to the internet.
XP support IE8 max
IIRC public counters tend to miss corporate networks.
A jQuery update would miss those quarantined browsers, too.
