So why should they support Flash? There is no real reason to if they can avoid it.

But Google is moving to HTML5/.h264 with YouTube-mostly because it fits in with their future mobile plans, I believe.
I realize there are rivalries between businesses, but I think the "personal" aspect of said rivalries are a bit too played up. The smart businesses move above the personal, and focus on what is best for their company interests as they see them. So Microsoft continues to make their profitable Office suite for Mac OSX. Adobe continues to make their profitable Creative Suite for Mac OSX. Apple continues to provide BootCamp, to allow users to boot up Windows on their Macs. Apple continues to provide built in Flash support in their desktop Safari browser. Google continues to fund basically 80% of Firefox's development, despite having their own browser, Chrome.
Fans of companies tend to take things so personally, and expect "their" favorite companies to act in the same manner. Most businesses really are above that kind of pettiness, and are act on different motivations.
