I think the truth is the vast majority of people don't care much about their browser anymore. They are pretty much all good enough.

There is only one reason why chrome got so much market share: because they put an ad on the Google homepage "Try a faster browser!". The marketing was bullshit (bloated websites don't load any faster in Chrome than in other browsers), but it worked.

If any other company advertised their browser so heavily, they would be the leading browser maker today. But noone else can put ads on every load of the Google homepage.

I think browsers are just so complex that most people don't understand that there's something wrong with their browser or operating system and just blames the website. Few years back it feels that everybody knew that if something is a bit off on the web they should try a different browser. Now, this idea seems to be more or less gone - most people only have 1 browser installed to begin with.
