I think that doesn't contribute to much. Flash, in a way, is also built on a set of smaller technologies and frameworks that vastly contribute to its popularity, and those are pretty independent. Look at, for example, tweening/easing libraries, which have been pretty popular in Flash for almost a decade and only started showing up in the JS side of things a while ago.

What will displace Flash is the lack of necessity for Flash, which is (or should be) obvious in 80% of what we see online. There are many things HTML do better, and easier, than Flash, and ignoring that is the real problem. People all of a sudden are trying to make HTML5 be like Flash, and failing at it, instead of remembering why Flash has never displaced HTML in the first place. I'm all of a sudden seeing a bunch of completely inane HTML5 websites that could have worked much better were they built with simple HTML technology, and it's infuriating to think we're back to the insanity of the Flash 5 time, where people would build stuff in Flash just because (something that today's Flash-based restaurant websites are an evolution of).

People need to remember that making snappy, simple, straight forward websites is totally a thing. That's what's gonna keep Flash at bay, in its little corner, as a technology best suited for lots of interactivity and media and embeds or whatever it is. Not trying to make all websites be Flash-like but just with an alternative but barely supported technology.
