I believe Flash was killed in agreement with Apple. The big app store players can't allow Flash (or HTML5) apps to be just as good as native apps, or they would lose their walled garden. This is especially true for Apple.
I can imagine there was a secret deal to uncerimoniously run Flash down. What did Adobe get in return? Maybe the assurance that Apple doesn't make iCloud the only allowed cloud service, so that Adobe could make profit with CC subscriptions?
A graphical RAD tool would have a big market, if you think of how widespread Flash was. Or if you think about old VB6, Delphi, and the raise of no-code. There is really a need for a simple interaction design tool that lets you click together a working graphical interface. (Now that I think about it, maybe this could grow out of Figma?)
