My answer is that Facebook, Google and Apple wanted full control of the web and financially encouraged Adobe to make it happen.

Flash player is an unnecessary burden on the user. And it didn't evolve as it was supposed to.

Short Answer: Flash Player is NOT MOBILE (although people found ways to make it mobile). HTML5,

WebGL, and Adobe AIR are mobile.
