Symantec recently highlighted Flash for having one of the worst security records in 2009. We also know first hand that Flash is the number one reason Macs crash. We have been working with Adobe to fix these problems, but they have persisted for several years now. We don’t want to reduce the reliability and security of our iPhones, iPods and iPads by adding Flash.

Once Adobe got their grubby hands on it, everything went down hill but Macromedia at least did security updates.

I mean adobe kept releasing security updates for years too. The problem was at its core it wasn’t designed for security so the entire architecture couldn’t very well be secured without breaking all compatibility
