It isn't dead. This hatred towards flash has become a mob mentality and it's stupid. No one's charging you to run their software. There have been a lot of amazing cross platform applications made because of flash.

"No one's charging you to run their software."

I haven't seen anyone claiming that either. However, you're being forced to install and run it to access certain sites and that's why I'd be more than glad to see it replaced with a more open technology as soon as possible.
