What is the reason for that? Is something wrong with Flexbox? Or just browser adoption?

Flexbox is not supported by IE < 10. And IE10 supports an old syntax but that can be mitigated by using the "autoprefixer" tool.

I'm not sure anyone really expects websites to look good in internet explorer anymore. As long as it's mostly functional, it's fine.

I think internet explorer users would disagree with you.

But they can't, because the website doesn't work on IE.

I think internet explorer users should use it for what it is made for… downloading a real web browser

Not really, I just surprise WebGL in IE11 is so much performer than in Chrome and Firefox.
