If the market was there for it, they'd develop for it. There's not a big enough incentive to make an update. Nokia sure as hell isn't giving any incentive to develop for Maemo, perhaps only for MeeGo.

Flash is only as bad as the lack of the company incentive given for that target. Simply stated, want it, pay for it or grow your market big enough to where you will not be overlooked.

It's like that for any other plugin. Just... most other plugins aren't really used.
