The difference is that you are free (and welcome) to hack Java support into Maemo/MeeGo (and some even did to a certain extent), even if Nokia itself has no reason for explicitly doing that.

With Flash it's a different story. Apple does not want it for business reasons (the letter with rationalizations is just a sign of mounting pressure because of this). Remember, they are not 'leaving it out'. The are actively looking to terminate it.
