Oh you're quite right! I was definitely mis-remembering silverlight.

> Separate manifests and non aligned segments have a real impact on the ability of the client to switch qualities in responsabilità to bandwith change, and this to avoid stalling.

I don't know if that's actually true. I sell ads, so I'm collecting delivery data on billions of devices, but only over the crappy internet that has a lot of ads on it, and at least for short videos, and the long videos after the places those short videos are, HLS stalls less than Dash and silverlight: HLS publishers make more money.

I would be interested in learning more.

> I mean designed unergonomically and without clear requirements in mind

I can easily agree with that. I misinterpreted what you meant by "backwards" as referring to the progress of the experience.
