In the past, PDF and some of HTML5 tags were proprietary (from Adobe and apple, respectively). HTML5 can not completely replace SWF because it doesn't support scene graphs and many others. Also, Apple is biased in that Apple banned Flash-based native apps for some reasons. So it is arguable that Apple is doing the right thing. Personally, I think that a clean subset of SWF file format should become a stardard. SWF is already open in some sense and there exist open-source players for it. I hope Adobe's decision.
