I'm not talking about the legal/moral implications - I'm not a fan of many things Apple does and how they do/did it, but whatever they did with webkit did not ruin the web as a whole, which is the premise here - that a 'dark, evil Flash' will be created and it will endanger the 'excellent' compatibility, multiplatform and performance track record of the original Flash player.
