Why your 'A' grade SSL is 'outdated cryptography' ...
Doesn't that mean giving up old browsers though?

Are you the kind of person who sees a 'B' as a failing grade?

If getting an A requires things that are, for a large portion, not feasable then I consider that a failing grade, but it is the test that fails, not me.
Anyway I asked a factual question, I would like an answer.

No, in this case, it just means preferring GCM. If a browser comes along that only does CBC, the server will pick CBC.

No. It means you get a B.

Would you want to ride in a car with failing brakes?
