This.
I developed a number of Air mobile apps back in 2012-2014 and all the blame is on Adobe. Flash was extremely inefficient and Adobe didn't want to invest the necessary resources to properly bring it to the mobile world.
Adobe cancelled AS4 (aka Flash Next) which would have made Air a very competitive crossplatform solution. They shifted all its resources into HTML5 to throw a bone to the Flash community and it was a complete failure.

Don't get me wrong, it probably made economical sense for Adobe but it was a shame.
