Sadly Flash is incredibly hard to write a 100% implementation for. That's why there are so many attempts; they've all failed (but they can work well for specific Flash games/apps).

It would be great if Adobe could open source their existing Flash Player at some point.

I struggle to see how doing so would harm them commercially. Even if an open source player is available, browser vendors have no interest in supporting it, so it won't be supported with browsers. It isn't going to take away interest in their newer pure HTML5 authoring tools.
