    Asking users what they want often doesn't give the best user experience.

    I think it makes sense but people may not agree with the logic. Flash on OSX: An entrenched industry standard for keyboard/mice computers. As an open platform users can and will install Flash. Might as well bundle a stable version with the OS so users don't have to install it themselves. Good for end user experience. Flash on mobile/touch: Not an industry standard. In fact it doesn't really exist yet other than Flash Lite or Nokia's custom version of Flash for the N900. There is an opportunity to move away form Flash here in favor of HTML5 on the web. For native apps obviously Apple would prefer people to use their proprietary platform instead of Adobe's proprietary platform. As a closed platform, and a popular one, Apple has leverage to prevent Flash from becoming a mobile industry standard.
