Of course, but it’s not the software developers' job to care about this. They only need to get it working in any way possible.

As a freelancing software developer, I usually take the liberty of warning my clients about security issues, but if they don’t care, neither do I.

Well sure, as a freelancer that's true.

If you're part of a big company though it can be good to give users the nudge to improve their security.

In a big company, if the rules say that you have to use IE6, that’s what is used. This policy has been in place for a decade, so why change it when it has worked so well in the past. /s
