What people want is not always what they need. :)

The attraction of a browser plugin is ubiquity -- all you'd need is a 
URL and you can deliver to goods. Or see it seems at first glance.

In practice, of course this would mean locating, downloading, and 
installing yet another plugin, in a world where Flash is already 
pre-installed.

At that point, authoring for a plugin other than Flash becomes about as 
much of an issue for IT managers and end-users as locating, downloading, 
and installing the Rev player or your own custom player, so much of the 
primary benefit of ubiquity is lost in real-world deployment scenarios.
