Adobe doesn't need to point the finger at anyone, they only need to look as far as their own product to see why a company so focused on user experience and security, like Apple, would decide against it. Adobe never seemed to take Flash on Linux based OS's seriously. Now that those systems are becoming more popular, Adobe is trying to play catch up, not succeeding, and trying to point the finger elsewhere.
However, I read Mike Chambers' blog post that this thread's article is based on. It doesn't sound like he's explicitly blaming Apple for anything. He states:
Just to be very clear on this. No matter what we did, the Flash Player was not going to be available on Apple’s iOS anytime in the foreseeable future.
... and ...
... given the fact that one of the leading mobile platforms (Apple’s iOS) was not going to allow Flash Player in the browser, Flash was not on track to
reach anywhere near the ubiquity [it has on desktops].
Is he going after Apple there, or merely stating facts?
