I think bloat is the issue but not in a negative way. Silverlight is a subset of the .Net Framework in that Microsoft Jettisoned any unnecessary feature to make the package size smaller. While Moonlight is a port of Silverlight it requires Mono to run and Mono is an attempt to port the entire .Net Framework to Linux.
So if you want Silverlight on a cell phone and you want it to be as small as possible Mono doesn't fit your goal (which is what I have to assume Intel was thinking).
