It's not such a black and white issue.

You are talking about average-joe-consumer out there with Windows 98, 
and generalizing that to say there is no advantage to browser plugins, 
period. I disagree.

Look at IT departments that ghost their systems for rollouts. No 
downloading of plugins required. In fact downloading may not be 
allowed. In fact- public www access may not even be allowed! 
Corporations are strange places.
