I'm not even aware of how to support blind accessibility in Flash but if it does have adequate support, how can you blame the platform and not the developers? It's like blaming Flash for making advertisements too easy to create.

To use an analogy, let's say you had two programming languages:
- Language A has very poor support for unit testing and requires that you put a lot of extra effort in to do it
- Language B supports unit testing out of the box, and supports automatically generating stub code for the tests.
All things being equal, which setup do you think will lead to more unit testing, and by extension a higher quality/more maintainable product?
(I use unit testing here as it's something that is often unseen but useful, much like accessibility)
Tools are not solely to blame for poor craftsmanship, but they can greatly contribute to it.
