WordPress no longer supports many old old browsers: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/04/23/target-browser-coverage/
This also removes alot of no longer necessary CSS. It served us well, but we are never getting back together with IE8,9,10.
So, in the (paraphrased) words of Taylor Swift:
I remember when we dropped support the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough, " 'cause like
We hadn't seen many users in a month
When you said you needed flexbox. (What?)
Then you postMessage again and say
"IE8, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate the box model, " we break up, you call me, "I love css-grids."
Ooh, we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever supporting IE 8,9,10,
We are never ever ever supporting IE 8,9,10,
You go talk to EDGE, talk to my FIREFOX, talk to CHROME
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever...

Links used as UI controls that behave like buttons, should be buttons.
- changes the widgets "toggle", "Delete", and "Close" links to buttons
- uses `aria-expanded` to announce the state of the toggle buttons
- increases a bit the clickable area of the toggle
- ensures the "circular focus" doesn't get cut-off in some browsers by centering the toggle arrows
- uses a `<span>` element with an `aria-hidden` attribute to hide CSS generated font icons from assistive technologies
- standardizes on `.toggle-indicator:before` rather than `:after`
- changes two `#f00` reds in `#dc3232`, see #35622Fixes#31476.

The Toolbar search field, when the Toolbar is displayed on the frontend, might
inherit CSS properties from the active Theme stylesheet. For example, this
happened with Twenty Seventeen that sets `display: block;` on all the input
fields. Thus, there's the need to reset some CSS properties to avoid inheritance.

For better accessibility, expandable panels should be placed immediately after
the control that expands them. This change moves the Media Library inline
uploader up, right after the "Add New" button, also introducing consistency with
the Plugin and Theme uploaders.
Adds a proper ARIA role on the button and an `aria-expanded` attribute to give
better feedback to assistive technologies users about the uploader's expanded state.
Improves the focus handling when closing the uploader, improves the focus style
and color contrast ratio of the uploader "close" button.

After [40059] the CSS class `button-link` uses `text-align: left` by default.
This change now requires to limit as much as possible the use of `button-link`
to controls that should really look like links and to explicitly set
`text-align: center` in a few other cases.

When sections of the media modal are hidden out of view, their controls may be
still focusable and actionable. This completely hides these sections to avoid
unnecessary tab stops and potential confusion for assistive technology users.

* Use `postMessage` transport for header image settings by default when video headers are supported, and thus `the_custom_header_markup()` will necessarily be used (and thus a selective refresh partial will be available).
* Ensure that `the_custom_header_markup()` always outputs a container element in the customizer preview even if the header is empty.
* Ensure that edit shortcut appearing for custom header does not get positioned off-screen.

Removes the `.customize-partial-edit-shortcut-left-margin` class which was not effective on some themes, created a worse experience for other themes, and which did not recalculate when the preview was reflowed or resized. Now some small-width media queries are added to handle common cases while more dramatic issues can be handled by the theme. Also renames `Partial.positionEditShortcut()`to `Partial.addEditShortcutToPlacement()` which is a more accurate description of its function.

Currently, the "Collapse menu" item is not focusable and keyboard users can't collapse/expand the admin menu. This aims to fix it so that screen readers no longer announce it as a clickable but it remains unfocusable and thus unusable. So it's now a button.
Quoting joedolson at WordCamp Chicago 2014:
"If it's supposed to act like a button, it should be a button."
Also includes a grunt:precommit run that picked up some postcss changes to src/wp-includes/css/customize-preview.css

CSS generated content is going to be rendered for speech output more and more in
the next future. When it's not intended to be available for speech output, for
example with font icons, then special care should be used to hide it from
assistive technologies. At the moment, the only reliable way to do this is making
use of a wrapper element and set `aria-hidden="true"` on it.

* Edit shortcuts show initially for a moment and then fade away so as to not get in the way of the preview.
* Visibility of edit shortcuts is toggled by clicking/touching anywhere inert in the document.
* Implements UI for mobile and touch devices which do not support shift-click.
* Adds `editShortcutVisibility` state.
* Adds new methods to `wp.customize.selectiveRefresh.Partial` for managing edit shortcuts.
Incorporates aspects of the Customize Direct Manipulation feature plugin.

When Open Sans was in use, the `300`, `400`, and `600` weights were loaded. `400` is the equivalent of `normal`; however, `bold` is equivalent to `700`, not `600`. With the move to system fonts, we need to be specific rather than relying on the lack of a `700` weight. Not all system fonts include a `600` weight; in those instances, they will use the `bold`/`700` weight.
The WordPress CSS Coding Standards have been updated accordingly.

Also use 'back-compat' in some inline comments where backward compatibility is the subject and shorthand feels more natural.
Note: 'backwards compatibility/compatibile' can also be considered correct, though it's primary seen in regular use in British English.

Rejoice, for your admins will feel more native to your surrounding computing environment and likely load faster, especially when offline, as they no longer have to talk to The Google Overlord.
At the time of introduction in 3.8, there were not good system fonts common to all platforms at the time. In the years since, Windows, Android, OS X, iOS, Firefox OS, and various flavors of Linux have all gotten their own (good) system UI fonts.
There will definitely be visual bugs, mainly around alignment and spacing; these should be documented and reported on the ticket and fixed more atomically so that our current and future selves have a better understanding of what happened and why.
The style remains registered, as it is almost certainly in use by themes and plugins.
