Steve Jobs hated Flash because it was buggy and Adobe was slow to fix the constant problems. Additionally, it was resource-intensive and slowed down the new Macs. Once he started to advocate for its replacement with something else then that was the beginning of the end. Flash was mostly a pain since you had to install it up to the time when chrome started to include it as part of the browser. I initially hated it because web designers decided to use it to produce stupid and time-wasting opening screens to websites. Web Assembly is a different story. It's native and browser makers will be quick to fix any problems. Plus its main purpose is to speed things up. I think it has a future but only time will tell.
