Apple is doing something is this direction. As far as I know, there is still neither Silverlight nor Flash available on iPhone. But you can implement some neat interactive applications with Canvas and JavaScript that also work on the newer IE-Browsers. So, in my opinion, the ice for Flash/Silverlight is already getting thinner.

Sorry, I forgot to provide an example.

It sure is not a killer application, the example is only meant to show that there already are usecases where you do not need such things as Flash.
