1. The author explicitly states that HTML5 is a good thing. He's just worried about a time when a successor is not a good thing. 2. Apple growing hugely day-by-day does change things up a little bit. Doesn't it? 3. Flash being supported on iPad could have changed things a bit. 4. Apple is known to be particularly insular, especially because of it's quest to define consumer experience. 5. Bluray is not dying, bluray players and discs are being sold in record numbers. Perhaps you meant optical storage is dying for computers. 6. The article is specifically talking about their new found power. Your statement has no bearing on this except makes it feel that you're making an appeal to gloss over the possibility of Apple's power being used for bad just because it's a 'good' company. For example, as Apple's share in PC market grows, it might be enough to send AMD/ATI down, since Apple won't ship their chips thereby granting a free monopoly to Intel and Nvidia which is bad for everyone involved.
