People wouldn't be crying out for Adobe's head. Sure the massive commercial cost of their products is a part of it, but that's being solved as we speak. A little more push towards subscription based software, a zealous effort to reduce processor overhead and power consumption on mobile devices, and a solid and full-filled commitment to the OpenSource community will solve all these things. And modifying the plug-in to handle the insane tasks of 3-4 crappy basement-budget Ads on the pages of the dark back alleys and red light districts of the world wide network of light & electron would definitely help their reputation. But the death of flash will still be on the lips of frustrated developers and users until Adobe's documentation efforts go past Tutorial Videos and a scattered reference system. It will be reference material like this blog that will save Adobe from internet obsolesce. If they aren't paying you or you don't work for them, please show them this comment. I have to use flash to for the webcam functions I need right now, but I'd otherwise be ditching their product for the HTML5 hype if it wasn't for this blog.
