The fact that the form is completely unsupported on mobile coupled with the way many people are moving exclusively to tablet/phone platforms these days might be enough to convince them that it's time for an update if you sent them a message about it.  They generally like to preserve the illusion that they're competent.

The next version may or may not be worse than this one...

That's an abomination that use Javascript and dynamic XFA content:

Whoever designed something like that for use by the general public needs to have thier career terminated before they cause any more damage.
