Maybe I'm just a pessimist but the reason I think Apple doesn't want Flash on the iPhone/iPad is control. If Flash were to take hold on the platform it could challenge the App Store and potentially the OS itself by seeding some control to Adobe.
The other thing is that iPhone OS is based on Mac OS X so it would be trivial to get flash running - I think there were rumours that Adobe did it ages ago but they couldn't release it...
