without question, website designers for using flash are clearly at
fault.

security was just one reason, but a bigger reason is there is no more
flash for mobile devices, so apple can't support it even if it wanted
to.

adobe stopped all development on mobile flash because they realized
that html5 is the way the industry is going. 

that also means that android no longer supports flash either. when it
did, it wasn't all that great. flash videos were choppy and slow and
severely impacted battery life.

web designers who continue to use flash are out of touch, particularly
since a substantial number of people *can't* use flash. creating a
flash-based website is really stupid.

that doesn't mean it's not a security risk or that it's not a cpu hog
or that it's buggy or a wealth of other problems. 

and that's also desktop flash, not mobile flash, which as i said, does
not exist anymore.
