Don't see much of those any more, do you? Or how about Beta and
VHS tapes, or HD-DVD? No? Even the DVD is going to be replaced
by Blu-Ray or... Things change.  None of those examples apply to
flash vs. HTML5 because in each of the those cases, the
established format had clear and distinct disadvantages when
conpared to the newcomer that made the initially costly switch
over from one format to another beneficial to consumers and
producers alike. What does HTML5 have over flash to justify
converting ones entire catalog of media?  For example, Youtube's
database size might be 45TB and all of it is in flash. All of
it. Some of it uses the h.264 codec, but this to is only
accessible from a flash interface (there you go if you're
wondering how apple can have a youtube app)
