1) They are paid to support their own tech, when they drop one (Silverlight for example) it can be a serious hit for a buisiness. 2) Yes, but it is changing thanks in part to dotNet core understanding this too. So we should see some benefits across the board for everyone. 3) Well, like PHP back when it was the golden boy against Perl, it's up to the developers to decide the direction of the language itself. Browsers and Node are big players to influence that too, but M$'s interest bringing TypeScript for example is evidence they might believe that.. Also as for standards, I might be wrong but I think they now decide their own standards, with all the browsers as members ? |

...but you can still download and run Silverlight.
Fun fact: if you load up Netflix in a browser that's too old to support the html5 player, they'll prompt you to install the Silverlight plugin. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23742
