That doesn't address the user experience when interacting with the apps written for desktop computers on a tablet, which was one of the core complaints.

The truth is that interacting with applications written for a different platform sucks. It sucks especially for Flash because Flash was generally used to build interactive applications that HTML/JavaScript couldn't. However, it isn't confined to Flash. I've had HTML5 apps that expected mouse/keyboard usage that couldn't be replicated on a tablet and they sucked, too.

I'd rather have a poor user experience than a zero user experience.

This will be bad for device manufacturers though. Many users will think "iPad with Flash still can't use lots of Flash" when many Flash sites depend on things such as mouseovers and other events that don't make sense on a touchscreen UI. We would know it's the site's fault, but it'll give iPad/Android/etc. a bad image.

In practice, many user experiences have ready substitutes, so people would rather have a different, good user experience than any specific bad one.
