15% seems extremely high compared to overall market share estimates, which usually peg IE at around 1%. But if your user base really is that heavily skewed in that direction for some reason, it probably makes sense to keep supporting it. "Could move" and "will move" are very different propositions.
It's quite normal for IE to be found in B2B solutions into non-tech industries, IE is under-represented by a factor > 2.5x on most consumer based tracking sites, if you look at the Wikimedia status then the usage is still at 3.7% compared to 1.45% on Stat counter. Now how many of those would shift if you made a case... well probably a lot of them...
Still seems extremely high to me, but I guess it'll be industry and location dependant as well. I guess you could survey the customers as to whether they'd make the switch, maybe citing some killer feature you'd love to implement but can't because it relies on technology less than a decade old 😆
Yeah we produce Health & Safety systems which covers everyone - but it does include 30k+ contractors in the UK many of which will be small operations of plumbers, engineers etc. Our US/Canada business has a similar clientele but lower %.
My approach would be to talk about data security, maybe we'll get there...

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I do wish I could convince my product folk that the 15% of users we have on IE11 "could" easily move...
