Shouldn't the beauty of games be the gameplay and the art, not the technology? Isn't it a good thing that the technology behind a game is no longer the primary selling point?

It'll be nice when the tech doesn't matter but if someone can't play your game because they prefer a different browser then that kind of sucks.

If you're referring to IE, well IE will give up Flash support anyway.

If you're referring to Windows 8, Flash will still work in desktop mode. Plugins will only be disabled in Metro mode.

And yes, I think this separation is ridiculous.

The technology behind a game is nearly always the primary selling point. There are too many games so users need some way to differentiate them. Seeing that game X uses tech Y means that people will talk about it and play it just to see tech Y. Even if it isn't very good people _will_ talk about which means it gets sales.
