It maybe also had to do with Flash being one of the most insecure pieces of software ever devised?

It also had to do with Macromedia, at the time the iPhone was released, not giving every platform equal support? So Apple might have been in the position of negotiating with Adobe to get them to support iPhone? I can hardly blame them for pushing open standards like HTML5 and their own app store instead.

I honestly would give them more shit for moves like not supporting WebP seemingly to spite Google.



Hilariously, the moment they start supporting WebP, they're hit with a zero day exploit ... from WebP
