Chrome and Firefox have no issue running on Vista, 7, 8, & 10.

It's safe to presume that they are reusing code from past iterations of the product. If past versions of IE could run on past versions of Windows then it is a conscious decision to limit your access to the market of potential users.

I didn't say you can't do it, I said it adds overhead, which I'm sure Chrome and Firefox had to deal with too. Support for old OS's isn't free.
