Absolutely agree. If Adobe had open-sourced the Flash client (but not the authoring tools) I like to think we would be in a different space technically. Certainly I hope we wouldn't have spent the last 6 years redesigning Flash by committee. Possibly licensing concerns around codecs and other things would have blocked it anyway, but one can dream. I just think Flash deserves respect for filling in the "online multimedia" space so well while others played catch-up. Well, they caught up.
