Flash was a proprietary browser plugin that went out of support (although you can still play .swf files with the standalone projector or Ruffle), whereas WebGL is a web standard which is very easy to implement on top of OpenGL ES; and that one is also a standard with many implementations, both in drivers and as open source libraries on top of more modern APIs, like ANGLE.

So I think WebGL is not going away anytime soon.
