You can already play H.264 with hardware support using QuickTime on the Mac so there is no reason to use a Flash player. The only reason to use a Flash video player on all platforms is laziness.

Given that there are Flash players which simply wrap around H.264 files, there's no reason not to use <video> on browsers which support it, and fall back to Flash on browsers that don't.
