Apropos of anything else, there's pretty much zero substance to this. "We tried". "We helped". "We were interested". It's entirely possible to say each of those things, under oath, be accurate, and still absolutely undercut things. I wouldn't expect an SVP of Apple, in a lawsuit to say, "Yeah, we really didn't give a shit, and weren't sad that it failed."

If Apple had given nominal help to Adobe, that would have been brought up along with the observation that Apple didn't really help. Flash was available on several Android phones of the time. These phones had faster processors than their iphone competitors and the experience still sucked. I liked having the option at the time, but it was a terrible experience every time I was forced to exercise that option. The biggest contentions of the time would have been videos and games. Video caused issues because flash player only sites were everywhere. On the other hand, they released canvas support (necessary for performant games) in 2010 the month before Jobs released his letter.
