That's my assumption. Part of the problem is that IE was a yawning mass of security holes. IE7 was the big security fix push, and IE8 was the big standards compliance push. It got better in both cases, but was still less secure and less standards compliant than the competition.
But random security flaws still surface, and MS pushes patches for them. One a while back affected
every version of IE, and I was bemused to see a patch pushed to XP, which was long our of support for patches to the OS itself.
Unfortunately, there
are still people who prefer IE, even with Edge available, and make IE11 the default browser, so it's just as well it still gets patched.
