Unfortunately a lot of companies are still using old web-esque apps that only work with IE...and switching over to something new can cost millions. A good IT staff will install a second browser and restrict IE to the app...but most are too lazy for that. Of course, that isn't the majority of IE users; the majority are just people with no tech knowledge that use IE because it was installed on the computer when they bought it...and those people won't do the fix unless it is done automatically for them.
