I think this is what Jobs wants, a market where Apple is off in it's own system and everyone else is dependent on Adobe. If Jobs is right, pushing the other platforms into the hands of Adobe could create a situation where the Flash-based Android and Windows developers are forced to standardize their functionality in order to maintain cross platform support. This leaves Apple as the mobile platform best able to differentiate itself from the rest since they can quickly push out new features without worrying about Adobe's support or the support of other platforms.
Not saying he is right or wrong but my guess would be this is the thinking behind it, moreso than concerns about monopolizing purchases through the app store.
