If it weren't for Adobe's crappy support of the player, I would agree, but they did much more harm than good with it. It was a massive attack surface and they didn't care about closing their zero-day drive-by exploits in a sensible timeframe.

Also they were basically the founders of persistent fingerprinting via Flash cookies.

So no, thank you, I'm more than happy it didn't thrive more than it already did.
