Can someone explain why Flash 10.1 is required to display ones and zeroes?

I'm done installing any future versions of Flash, especially with all the crap they've started bundling it. I fully expect that Flash 10.2 will include anti-virus software, toolbars, and something that periodically reminds you that you're ugly.

I'm simultaneously testing a beta version of the Flex framework that will require Flash Player 10.1. I would recommend upgrading regardless. 10.1 has some excellent performance improvements thanks to Adobe's recent efforts getting it running on mobile.
Are you also done installing any future OS's or Browsers?

I mean it's up to you what you want to do, but why do you need to throw in strawmen?
