Quite true. All for-profit companies are in things for themselves. No news flash there.
But if I could tease out the original purpose of my question once more, it'd be to say that Flash has been used to introduce interactivity + multimedia into web pages. True, there are other ways to get interactivity, and other ways to get multimedia into web pages, but Flash offers a one-stop shopping tool, and as has been said, most/many people have the flash plug-in, so playback is more or less assured across the intertoobs.
Add that Flash comes with a load of issues, some for users, some for developers, which are unpleasant. CPU overhead, difficulties in updating/modifying sites are 2 I can think of.
So my question is: can CSS and/or Javascript plus *some* codec of movie/sound content replace Flash?
