The problem is not whether the latest version shipped with the installation disc. It's how quickly it got put up on Software Update. Lots of products have downloadable updates on the day it appears. Flash should have been a required update within days of Adobe releasing the new version. There would have been no story if the headline was "Snow Leopard requires Flash update on install." I seem to remember I got my Snow Leopard late and I still had to go straight to Adobe for my update.
