"Chrome includes video codecs that allow you to embed videos without using slow and unreliable plug-ins like Adobe Flash."

Compared to quicktime/media player and the slew of plugins from the previous generation, flash is much much more reliable.

Compared to QuickTime _on Windows_. On Mac it's not so slow and doesn't load CPU that much (compared to Flash/Mac).

Bullshit. Load a hour long quicktime video from blip tv using safari. It will hang your browser every time. This is on a latest gen Macbook Pro

If you want the lowest common quality video, yes. Flash video performance and quality are noticeably lower, though, so it really doesn't scale well beyond YouTube-level video.

In practice, widely deployed beat better quality handily.
