I saw it as two main issues:

1. Apple couldn't improve the Flash player like they could with WebKit and Nitro to make Flash content run well on their phones.

2. Most of the complex content on the web was in Flash, by not supporting it the web was fast and light weight for a very low powered mobile device.

If you try and load a JS heavy website on an original iPhone now days it will likely crash.
