Stopping development of IE is what led to the Great Browser Winter of the IE6 era. Things didn't start moving again until MS reversed course and went back to improving IE.
Defaults are powerful things, and as long as IE is the default browser on the most popular desktop operating system, there's going to be millions upon millions of people using it regardless of how good it is. Stopping development would just turn those people back into an anchor holding back the progress of the Web.
