Mozilla design choices

Gee we need to show a gallery of open pages in tab view.
Lets write thumbnails of every open page to disk!
Genius.

what about flash, silverlight, dozens of DRM video and music formats, SVG, WebGL, etc.

SilverLight is dead (not even MS-related stuff requires it anymore) and DRM formats and WebGL are crap.

Pretending web1.0 is the only thing?

You're implying I meant the web should be reduced to 1 language that should be HTML.
What I really meant was that the web should be reduced to 1 language that should be C or Lisp (or maybe even -surprise- Flash!) executed in a VM and just allow a dev to write their own display engine (or use a 3rd party (open source or commercial) one, as there would literally be hundreds around). Again, modern web services aren't websites (documents that get parsed) anymore but applications (that get run).
