At first, maybe. But not ultimately. If you compare it to TLS, for example, if the site use TLS 1.0, your browser will simply not load the site. This web integrity thing is similar.
Another, maybe more relevant, example, is Flash. Once Google decided Flash will no longer be supported on their browser, Flash died. I actually don't disagree with the killing of Flash, but the idea is similar.
I miss it sometimes. There's still no good way to have lightweight vector animations that wen designers or animators can work on (no code required), that work the same cross-browser. There's some JS libraries but they often need developer involvement (a designer can't always set everything up themselves) and tend to be quite heavy libraries (which slows down the page, which reduces your ranking in search engines)...
I still use Macromedia Flash 5 from time to time, to create quick animations to be used in videos. I haven't found anything as easy to use. Maybe you know something? I've tried a few things, can't remember the names, but paid stuff, free stuff, and FOSS stuff. MacF5 is easier and quicker.
I haven't had to make animations in a long time, but I'd probably go for Flash too. I think I've got an old version somewhere (not as old as 5 though; might be CS2 or CS3).
I remember Flash MX came out in my first year of high school, and a bunch of people were having issues getting their Flash 5 projects working in MX (we had a computer animation class that used Flash).
