Flash (personally I mostly remember it being used to reimplement arcade games) serves as a boogey man to many web developers & standardizers. I won't claim to be a fan, but neither am I fan of how pulled several of its drawbacks over to HTML/CSS/JS in order to kill it! Obfuscation, DRM, feature bloat leading to large security surface, etc.
The silly thing is thanks to WebASM & the Ruffle project we once again support Flash applets in-browser! Just now you needn't install Flash Player!
