Arguably more people would buy Apple products if they opened up iOS to Flash (and if they really were thinking of their users they would have Flash disabled as standard and have a deeply hidden switch somewhere -- that would work so that only those who know what they are doing would be using it). Being able to use Flash is becoming a selling point for Android. Yes, there are some issues with Flash, even on a PC, occasionally. Nothing is perfect. But I am more than happy with it on my phone. A lot of websites I use do offer lower quality HTML5 versions of their videos --- but why should I do this to myself? And all those "workarounds" definitely don't make iOS easy to use. Out of the box "it just doesn't work" with many websites.
Apple has misjudged the situation and wound up shooting themselves in the foot.
