That wouldn't particularly surprise me. I never used ActiveX, so I can't really speak to that one. But then, there also weren't many (public) websites that I ever ran into that wanted to use it.

As I understand it there were weird pockets where organisations went hard in to activeX. IIRC it was used heavily by the South Korean government, and a lot of internal corporate intranet projects for all sorts of things.
That obviously caused massive problems a few years later when Microsoft tried to discontinue activex and make IE/Edge a normal web browser.
As someone who still has to support users of several ActiveX apps, turning off the "block unsigned ActiveX" setting goes with the territory of using it.
