Your points are valid, but I don't see how they affect the average web user. I'd be iterated too if there was a missing plugin. But most pages don't depend on flash so the odds of that happening are less. With the upcoming compilation of Flash to native applications developers will be able to tunnel their apps through the App Store. Not perfect but for Flash game developers it's not so bad.
