I think the point for making ie7 deprecated legacy is more about its hideous bugs in the parsing, internal document representation and rendering bugs.

It is the things that makes proper code unable to be displayed properly without the tedious work of understanding the dysfunctions to circumvent them properly. To me, the old IE rendering engines alone has slowed web innovation for at least several years all by themselves.
