Actually, yes.

People use Chrome or Firefox because it's faster than IE, it has automatic update, it supports more CSS3 features (i.e. it renders more beautiful web site). I never once heard people choosing Chrome/FF over IE/Safari because of WebM.
Don't forget that all this browser still support flash with H.264 codec and most website still have flash video fallback. Hell, most website only use Flash video player.
It might just well be the article about rising maket share of Browser with green icon or some other silly factor, and statement like "Yes, the rise of green-icon browsers market share ignore this fact" would have been equally correct.
Not that it has anything to do with your parent comment missing the point of the article.
