Google has no real reason to hitch their wagon to Macromedia by using
flash for this.

Many of their technologies are in a prolonged beta status anyway, and
the interface is a much less significant asset to them than the
utterly monstrous amounts of data they are organising.

The use of a proprietary technology that still doesn't have 100%
browser penetration flies in the face of google's standard modus
operandi: lightweight interfaces that (just about) everyone can use.

They know what they are doing behind the scenes as well: read up on
the gmail interface and the level of elegance and optimisation of the
javascript behind it. Truly remarkable.
