Yeah but to support safari, you need a way to test your web application with it.

The only way to do that is to buy a Mac. That's why a lot of sites don't support it.

I think Microsoft can afford it. I heard at some point they were Apple's largest corporate client for Macintoshes.
Browserstack.com

Also 50% of the US mobile browser market. (Don’t forget iPhone and iPad.)

This is a bs excuse. The only really hard one to test with is IE11, simply because the dev tools are so incredibly slow on a web app.

That’s actually incorrect. I used Browserstack for testing our web apps. Why buy a Mac when you could basically rent one for your browser testing. We script it out and test out pre-prod web apps.
