Google bundles Flash with Chrome so they can push out Flash security updates quickly and seamlessly. Adobe's non-Chrome Flash Player has its own update check, but it's not automatic. The "updater" just opens the adobe.com download page. The user must still manually download the real updater exe, unselect any "special offers", run the updater from wherever their browser saved it, and restart their non-Chrome browser. I wonder how common Flash would still be if Google hadn't bundled Flash (and paid Google security engineers fuzz and fix Flash bugs).
