Probably because:

1) HN wasn't that big (or existing) at that time.

2) Now you can also see the code, it's not in some opaque swt archive.

3) You don't need a proprietary Adobe IDE to code it (yes, you could do without for Flash too with some bizarro third party tools. Talking about the mainstream).

4) Everybody hates flash anyway.
