Agreed. Copyrighted content delivered solely via HTML5 has a long way to go. Proprietary runtimes controlled by large companies with DRM technology are currently the safest method (for copyright holders) to deliver that content to a paying audience.
(Un)fortunately, depending on how you look at it, "everything is an object" is left out in PHP. I personally agree with having some non-object values (use one of the Spl* classes if you want something like that).
