Unless and until hardware prices drop to zero, there will be users for whom any cost is an insurmountable hurdle. And, there will remain users content with existing capability who only wish to upgrade software in order to maintain security and/or access to software demanded by their needs. Ordinary users don't care when SSE3 was introduced. They just want to keep using what ain't broke as long as possible. Many don't see justification for capability of newer hardware causing software to demand that capability either, particularly when it breaks arch portability or produces no more than a modest, or no, detectable performance improvement, among them, me. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
