Is the script for "IE10 viewport hack for Surface/desktop Windows 8 bug" in _layouts/default.html relevent in 2021?

Hi,

I'm just wondering if this script, that's in the default.html file, is even relevent in 2021? If not, can it be removed? Should it be removed?

(function () {
    'use strict'

    if (navigator.userAgent.match(/IEMobile\/10\.0/)) {
        var msViewportStyle = document.createElement('style')
        msViewportStyle.appendChild(
            document.createTextNode(
                '@-ms-viewport{width:auto!important}'
            )
        )
        document.head.appendChild(msViewportStyle)
    }
}())
</script>

Thanks for this, yes I agree... this is no longer in the Bootstrap 4.6 starter template. This would also be a good time to upgrade to Bootstrap 4.6, too, I will open a separate issue for that rather than tie them together.
