Seriously, what steve cares about is money - not revenge or something of the 
sort. All pointers translate to money for apple:
- flash is resource hungry, battery hungry: buggy phones mean reduced customer 
confidence & less money
- iphone/ipad customers wanting flash based content can buy same from app 
store: more money for apple
- eventually, html5 & h264 win - no more need to put resources into 
interoperability with whomever dreams up another new cutting edge codec or blah 
- even more money saved for apple (and everyone else).
- am sure there are many more..
