Perhaps those people deliberately disabled SSE in their BIOS for
testing purposes.  Which is valuable, because very few Firefox
developers are testing on non-SSE capable CPUs.

In any event, you misunderstand the cause here.  We're not backing out
MSVC changes just because of these two users.  We're backing out MSVC
changes because other infrastructure (the update server, the
installer, etc.) isn't yet prepared for the SSE-required world we
appear to be moving towards.  Making those changes deliberately in 49,
rather than being surprised by it in 48, ensures a better experience
for everyone (e.g. Firefox doesn't mysteriously start crashing when
upgrades happen).
