When Steve Jobs and company effectively killed "RIAs" I remember Adobe pivoting and promising a software to do what they previously had but output HTML5/CSS/JSS instead of Flash. It looks like it is still alive in the form of Adobe Animate?

The product was originally called Adobe Edge, and it was rolled into Adobe Animate.

Not Adobe Edge was killed dead, it was not rolled into Adobe Animate. Edge did export animation with jQuery and DOM element, while Adobe Animate exports animations in pure canvas.
