Then again, Flash has been deprecated for almost 10 years already. When the original iPhone famously came out with a no Flash policy back in 2007, the technical community knew that it was a dead format. Even granting the general corporate mindset of dragging your feet there has been plenty of time to source a replacement for Flash in your ecosystem.

I bet all that hindsight really helps you sound like some sort of visionary. Flash was alive and well long after the introduction of the iPhone. Ignoring the fact it was hardly available internationally, and only on a single carrier in the United States. Nerds hated Flash, but it was still seen as a somewhat acceptable and expected technology to come across.
