I think it will. Just tested the IE mode, you need to manually enable it for every time. I think it's annoying enough.

In an AD environment, you can push out a centralized list that is easy to update. We've found that IE Mode unfortunately works very well. I wish it didn't work so well because it allows us to keep these IE sites around indefinitely.

While it keeps existing IE11 compatible sites around indefinitely, it stops everyone else from having to support IE11 because that's the default and only browser IT allows on the machine.

This is the main point. Now no one will have to support IE because any IE user has easier access to a more capable browser.

You can even disable the ability for users to change it, forcing IE mode on sites where it doesn’t work.

It’s my second most hated abuse of group policy.

Can't you use the X-UA-Compatible header with value IE=11?
