MPEG-DASH vs. Apple HLS vs. Microsoft Smooth Streaming vs. Adobe HDS

This is a sales pitch masquerading as educational. It is designed to be deceptive. Why is there not a checkbox for "supported on over one billion iOS devices" where HLS is checked and DASH had a big red X? "HTML5 Support" I can play HLS in HTML5. It requires a little extra javascript, but I do it all the time. "EFFICIENT TRICK MODES" with I frame manifests. HLS does this as well. I can go on...

From the About page for bitcoding.com[1]:

"bitmovin – the company behind bitcodin.com – was founded by Stefan Lederer, Christopher Mueller and Christian Timmerer. All founders participated in the MPEG standardization and made substantial contributions to the MPEG-DASH online video streaming standard.”

So, this is a sales pitch.
