It is sometimes difficult to make websites cross-compatible with different browsers -- for example: dealing with Cascading Style Sheets. You could enter the same CSS code into two different browsers and get two totally different results, so you have to know how to be able to spackle those issues over.
I can't answer for Bungie, being that I don't work for Bungie, but I can tell you from experience that compatibility is an issue that people who work with websites have to grapple with on a regular basis. After all, you can't assume that everyone's gonna be using the same browser. It would make things a lot easier in terms of trying to make everything compatible, but people want their variety.
Usually people are most likely to get the best experience when they use the most modern browsers, and sometimes it's just not possible to deliver the best experience to those who haven't updated without sacrificing part of the experience of those who have.
