How does Flash compete with the App Store more than HTML5? Since Apple has been promoting HTML5 web apps, especially those targeting Mobile Safari, I find it hard to believe that their hatred of Flash comes from a desire to protect the App Store. I take Apple at their word that it's because of Flash's atrocious performance, which as a Mac user I can attest to. I don't agree with this decision, though. I think the best way to handle Flash is to build ClickToFlash functionality directly into the browser.

Imagine if they had included Click-to-Flash by default instead.

How does Flash compete with the App Store more than HTML5? By having a mass market share that makes it competitive. "HTML5" does not (by comparison).

I think that flash competes with App store mainly in small silly games which are free in Flash and probably will cost 0.99 in App store

  Except you can STILL go out to the internet and play those silly free flash games. And Flash Developers can now release their silly flash games on the iPhone/iOS App store. If either of those facts were not true, you might have a point.
