Apple made Flash a no-go on mobile. At the time, people had no distinction between mobile web and desktop web, so if your web site didn't work on an iPhone, it was forgotten and left in the dust.

Today, you can be on one or the other. But that wasn't the case back then.

Last I checked Apple really isn’t a big web standards pusher or implementer

I'm sorry you wasted your time checking on something that I didn't state.

people just have to romanticize everything Apple

No romanticizing needed. I was there, and lived through it.

Just saying no Flash use our app store apps without contributing to open xp alternatives does not amount to killing Flash. Making the alternative better, accessible to all in an open way does.
