Silverlight will be about as useless as Flash when HTML5 goes mainstream.
I don't see how you can say Apple is "putting a gun to developers heads". As I said, you have no idea how the tech industry or software industry works. A lot of companies and systems have very strict rules for developers to follow. Don't like the rules? Develop for someone else.
Considering the large number of developers that are writing apps for the App Store, it seems a lot of people are deciding to work within Apple's "rules". And considering how much money many of them make, I bet they are quite happy. Flash what? Adobe who?
Closed systems will never go away. There are too many industries that need tight control of their systems (for example, to maintain reliability & security) to allow developers to simply "roam free". This has been going on since the birth of the computer in some way or another, and is never going to change.
