The video performance in AIR on desktop is horrendous (no hardware
accell - even through webkit), and on mobile it's only better if you go
through stagevideo. For heavier lifting you'll need to use an ANE. Once
you are down that road, why not just go all native, or look for a better
cross-platform framework like Xamarin?
When Adobe says "premium video" they really mean "we aren't going to
pull the plug on our DRM partner and customers (yet)." Their "premium
gaming" narrative was similar, though in the case of Unity3D (one of
their premium gaming partners) it did fall apart once they canned AVMNext.
Adobe is not serious about expanding their Flash market. They don't seem
to be interested in being a middleware provider. Even for gaming at Max
(I'm not there, but word on the street is) talk is all about gaming in
HTML5, and the only real Flash presence is third party vendors - those
partners and customers that the "premium" label applies to - with not
much from Adobe themselves. My customers, and from the looks of it, many
others', have gotten the right message. It's time to move on.

It depends. If you are developing video centric applications, I don't
see a platform that comes close. WatchESPN is the perfect example.
