Most people create websites to make money..either by selling their services directly or advertising themselves or someone else. Not building your website to support as many people as possible is like creating TV Ad that only works on TVs that support HD..

Actually a number of ads have content outside the bounding box for SD streams (though some SD streams now cut down things even more by letterboxing because of this). Ads were the first and still the most aggressive to have content strongly outside the 4:3 screen type.

Because if you can create an effect that works it can be worth more than the whatever small number of users on SD, especially as those are likely out of demographic anyways.

But you can still see most of them.. But how many websites are broken when js does not load correctly for whatever reason?
