It's now inappropriate to publish any closed proprietary format material
on the web?
That universities publishing lecture notes can't do so in
Keynote/Powerpoint?
That small contacts db applications (not that I would want to use such a
thing) can't be published as an Access database?
That an executable can't be published, because it won't run natively on
another OS?
That a graphics company can't publish template resources in Photoshop or
Illustrator format?
That a publishing/printing company can't publish templates in InDesign
format?
These are all - blanket statement - INAPPROPRIATE for any publishing on
the web?
That's a pretty extreme 'open source' view. And it's ... rather unrealistic.
