Very neat, but what besides being a neat hack is the exact point of this, I have never come across an old website that I needed an old browser for, usually the old websites work better than the new ones! So is this really a problem, do you have some examples where an old browser is really required?

There are many reasons. From technology standpoint, as the web changes, old technologies may no longer work in new browsers. One case in point: Java applets. A few of the old browsers on oldweb support Java applets, which most likely won't work in a modern browser.

Here's one example: http://oldweb.today/nslinux/2015/http://archive.rhizome.org/...

Excuse me for posting a video link, but my own reaction reminded me a bit of this: https://vimeo.com/20736616

Maybe the itch to be scratched was not so much a technical one?
