Sure it might have influenced some sites, but HTML5 is in the works and has been in the works. It's not because Apple chose to have it's iPhones and iPads not support flash. The industry has been moving to HTML5 because HTML4, applets, Flash are not a good enough solution. The advancement is a result of all the big players, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and yes Adobe (just to name a few)

You forgot another major player Google. But my point wasn't one company was responsible for it's advancement it was the industry.
