That's the problem right there. Do you really need something more than an html/php/js/css web browser?!

You're absolutely right. Who needs rich, interactive media? It's not like Flash powers some of the top sites on the entire freaking internet.

Before you say "HTML5", not there yet, and didn't exist in the period back when Flash became popular.

Please stop being so dogmatic, this is software development, not religion.

Oh yes! Thats why flash has 99% penetration, because nearly everyone needs it.
