In conservative IT businesses like hospitals this date is a deal breaker: No more security updates. In consequence IT will switch it off immediately. Guess why edge has an IE Mode.

That's not what conservative means. My conservative hospital client recently downgraded to Windows 7! If you pay MS enough you get security updates no problem. Not to mention that even the less conservative are probably on Windows 10 LTSC where IE11 will keep running

Microsoft made the mistake of letting users keep IE11 next to Edge. Egregious.

Having a IE mode for whitelisted websites would have killed IE11 on public internet a long time ago.

“Website broken? Click here to try IE11 mode.”

But no, IE is still on the desktop and people will use it for both intranet and internet
