Maybe the intent of this posting was to poke fun at the thinking behind the quotes, but at least I think that web plugins are something that shouldn't be encouraged. Java and ActiveX applets as well as Flash and Silverlight content sucked with various levels of intensity, but they never ceased to suck. There was always at least some level of impedance mismatch between the plugin content and the surrounding web site.
With Unity web player, there's rarely any attempt to integrate it to web pages, it's just a convenient way to deliver applications through web browser. Still I don't feel good about it, as it doesn't work on this Linux laptop for example, nor it would on a range of tablets, chromebooks, etc. I'm disappointed every time when I see something that looks like a browser game, but requires some awful plugin to run.
