Not Google, all search engine.
And let's not forget that others too lock their devices so you can't install a different browser (Apple too), you should be able to read Wikpedia even if your device is 10 years old,
My comment was about "is just software" so should the software guys do the transpilation step rather then forcing users to throw their devices? (since again "IS JUST SFOFTWARE)
There's no obligation for websites to support old browsers. NB: this appears to be some volunteering platform. It is probably maintained by volunteers. These volunteers should not have to step up and fill in for incompetence on the part of two of the most profitable companies in human history.
I understand, I am not obligated that my blog work on Safari, I could make it Firefox and Linux only. I also understand that Google and Apple are rich and are always chasing more profits and I don't defend this evil giants. I also understand that are exceptions like you are not building a simple webpage but a very complex image/video/code/graph editor or video game and you need a very specific feature.
What I am saying is if you put a webpage that targets everyone (not a limited subset like say our internal team that all run latest Apple shit) then since "is is just software" it is easier to transpile the code then ask the world to throw away their devices and buy new stuff.
I am sure you are not OK if all websites will use a new JS feature in the exact day it is released and the updates did not had time to propagate to all users, so the question is how many percent of an users should is small enough so a average webdev can stop using the transpiler and break stuff?
