For some reason every new generation of developers comes out expecting that to change, but it's not going to. There will always be browsers going out of life that you need to support. That's just the way it works.
And yes, there will always be people like this author whining about it and blaming his users for the his problem. That's the wrong way to go.
If you build web applications, you need to suck it up and support all the browsers out there. Yes, it's harder and yes, you need to use a common subset of all the available tools.
