What's left out is any discussion of the difference between Flash's security policy (by default, open access to your hardware, granted because you intentionally installed their plug-in), and most browser's security policy (by default, _no_ access to your hardware, because there's no telling where the Javascript on that web page has been). Once you recognize that distinction, most of the other differences just fall out. It's not clear at all that Flash can keep up that default policy. At least one major vendor refuses to deploy Flash on its platforms, in part because of that default policy.
