Because Silverlight was shit, even when compared with Flash and Java browser plugins. But all three got replaced by HTML5 (and when apple denied them on iOS)

@agowa338 @raymaccarthy @blinry “Moonlight” was the Mono-based substitute for Silverlight; I know I installed it but I don’t remember what if anything it worked for. IIRC Silverlight was an attempt to compete with Flash and … whatever Macromedia’s other flash-like thing was … but all it really did was make an even smaller niche for IE-only sites
