Why isn't there a flexbox polyfill for older browsers like IE9?

There is actually a library that does exactly what I wanted: https://github.com/jonathantneal/flexibility

It's in the very early phase of development, but hopefully it will be viable soon.

Is there a Mdl grid alternative for ie9? [angular4]

Looking at the Material Design Lite Grid SASS, the first thing that stands out is that it's using flexbox.

.mdl-grid {
    display: flex;

https://github.com/google/material-design-lite/blob/mdl-1.x/src/grid/_grid.scss#L26

IE9 doesn't support flexbox, and it's so old it doesn't even show up in the default view of CanIUse anymore!

There are polyfills for flexbox, but it's a fairly complex CSS feature which means the polyfills might not work well, or might have poor performance, or both!

One such polyfill is flexibility.
