Adobe never provided a usable non-dog-slow version of Flash for iPhone.

So Apple only had the choice between no Flash and a really bad version. Flash ran really slow on OSX compared to Windows, so it was unrealistic to expect Adobe to suddenly provide a good implementation of Flash for the iPhone. Adobe painted them into the corner by not properly supporting small platforms.
