I asked "who uses it", because I can't offhand think of anyone who has to. OK, there are the bosses who can't cope with anything invented since the 1980s and are too high placed to be told to suck it up. There are people in countries too backward to expect a reliable internet connection. And perhaps, some documents required by law? I don't know.

"Who uses it" is the question Google should be asking themselves - so they can turn their considerable market and political power towards obsoleting those uses.
