that doesn't solve the problem that webGL is both very slow, and is completely nonfunctional for a large amount of users.

Define large? You need a graphics driver more recent than Jan 1, 2009.

And slow compared to what? Flash? Canvas 2D?

lots of systems are that vintage or older, and do not have update-able graphics drivers due to being laptop OEM specific stuff (this was the case for all nvidia/ati mobile chips until recently, the OEM provided the driver, generic nvidia/ati drivers cannot be installed).
Compared to the unity browser plugin or a native executable.
