While I agree, and do find that totally annoying, I've always thought that was a clause to avoid 'death by Microsoft' -- where there suddenly is a new and 'improved' player that ships right with IE and comes on an Service Pack, and then browser wars all over again.
That being said, wtf is the problem with 'reading' the swf format. "...or other program that reads or renders SWF files." That one is just plain greedy imo. That is "we own the data you created", yuck.
