I have no problem blaming Jobs as long as I know he's actually responsible. I'm with you on the chronology, just not on the assumption that Android and Adobe are copying Apple due to financial isolationism. It's also possible they reached the same conclusion as Apple for other (possibly technical) reasons.
That said, I have friends whose long-term jobs have involved writing flash games and apps. They're not happy with HTML5 so far and they really don't like that giant foot from Monty Python coming down on flash prematurely.
