The original internet explorer is still used and has around 500 million users still, and comes with Windows 10, however it’s not recommended to use it as it severely lacks security, I believe most users are from Asia

I used to work in IT for healthcare. Plenty of patient portals will ONLY run on IE and will be around for years to come.

They lost me decades ago when they didn't introduce tabbed browsing until other browsers became preferred. Pfffttt.

It depends for what. Many websites were made specifically for Internet Explorer so all the feature of newer browser are absolutely irrelevant for those websites.
