> Newsflash: Apple didn't block Flash because it is "bad", they blocked it because they wanted you to go through their app store
No. They blocked it because it sucked. Horrible for battery, horrible for accessibility, performance wasn't great, and security issues galore. Don't forget, iPhone shipped without Flash before the app store even existed. When iPhone was first launched, Apple literally told developers to make web apps for it instead of providing native apps. It wasn't until iOS 2.0 that native apps were possible.
