"Which is why I've started wondering lately if at least some companies will begin to move past the "we have to support everyone" mentality and start developing apps and websites that only work on modern browsers."
and from a big companies perspective, i don't see a value in adopting html5 "just because" - especially when the only things pushing it right now are apple's mobile devices. and all this at the risk of losing customers. you've seen a lot of companies create iphone-sized versions of their site which is generally a re-skin with limited features, but that was kind of a simple step backwards whereas html5 is a step forwards.
who knows though, if enough companies can convince their users to upgrade their browser to use their sites, then it could happen. but i think users are too fickle. look how many have held on to ie6 for all these years.
