The comparison between Apple's business decisions and Postel's comments on a protocol implementation is invalid.
Other people might invoke Postel's name to amplify their own message, but that's just not what he was talking about.
Furthermore, if you believe for a second that Jon Postel would have been a supporter of Adobe Flash, then I assert that you weren't alive when he was. I imagine he'd have equally strong objections to Apple, but that's neither here nor there.
