Thats not really an issue in this case. The only browsers not supporting it are ie11 and opera mini. (And a thing called QQbrowser which I confess I've never heard of.) I'm guess the 4% of traffic is largely ie11.

If you are browsing the Web today with ie11 then there's a lot of css that isn't going to work right.

And the impact of not supporting sticky is invisible - the table just works as it does now.

So there's no -techical- reason not to use it. At this point it's either a cosmetic choice (mostly for overflow reasons) or unawareness of its existence.
