Development effort at this stage (time, money).

Generally speaking free software development has often
less resources, so it's easier for a content producer to
be friendly with free software that the other way around.

Just think .doc files. It's kind of easy nowadays to read
them (thanks openoffice) but a few years ago wasn't it damn
stupid to have to fight with .doc files containing *very*
simple text only information ? (still is stupid, just less
proving).

You can do wonderful things even with an SWF4, ever seen
the orisinal games [1] ?
