> The main reason flash was killed by Apple was also spite toward Adobe

Prior to and subsequent to Flash (a Macromedia product, fwiw) Apple & Adobe have had extensive relationships and interaction that are in no way indicative of spite.

The main reason Flash died is because performance & power consumption on mobile never got past garbage, despite the platform wars going borderline nuclear on the topic.

> they made valid excuses sure,

Perhaps it's my becoming an ol' fogey, but it's crazy to see the Apple haters of yesteryear also move toward historical revisionism.

While the best approach is to just ignore such FUD like "valid excuses, sure", it's also important the record not be owned by zealots and those who preach spite.

Jobs was mad at them for not coming in with more support when he went back to apple. also this.

yes adobe and apple have histories tied together, but it wasn't always a rosie partnership.

Please let’s not forget what a morass Flash was in terms of security. Holy crap.
