Silverlight supports "Alternative browsers". In fact, it's easier to get the exact same rendered output on screen in Silverlight than in Javascript, since it's running the same engine in all browsers, just via different plugins.

The key here though is that I can log in to any random machine with any common browser and use the primary features of Office. Google Docs offers me the ability to read a spreadsheet on a kiosk in a hotel, so Office web better do it too. If Silverlight was required, that wouldn't be realistic until it achieves Flash-level or greater adoption.
