There's no technical or organizational reason why it shouldn't have ended up this way, and I have absolutely no grounds to be mad about it, and Ruffle is a great project. Flash preservation is really valuable, and I love that Ruffle is still being actively developed and improved, and I wish the project all the best. But I am still irrationally bitter that Shumway ended up getting abandoned by Mozilla and that Ruffle took its place, for obvious reasons.

Shumway happened before Flash EOL, so it's likely that Adobe forced development to stop. Although Ruffle existed before January 2021, it flew under the radar back then. Even if Adobe had no hand in it, it's much easier (and less risky) to fund an implementation after the official one reaches EOL.
