Not to mention the pains of making the two engines interoperable. In Flash, the new VM is not compatible with the old, and you have to go to extreme lengths to communicate between the two. Using one VM in Flash is much harder problem because the compiler is separate, AS2 was not completely compliant, and the files are already compiled into incompatible formats when they are loaded. Flash developers are dealing with that when it crops up, but the wider web can't be expected to do that, and it doesn't make sense to push that burden onto browser manufacturers either.
