Steve Jobs killed Flash. I fully believe that Flash would still be around and kicking (horribly) if he didn't step in and do something about it.

Jobs isn't here to save us anymore.

Really? He single-handedly killed Flash? What a powerful man.

He took the risk of creating a botched experience on his platform first. He did not fail and other followed. He was maybe not the single reason why flash declined, but for sure is the one that initiated it.
