"If they had built their own browser they could use it to ensure their products would always be reliably supported by at least one company—their own."
i'm sorry, but this doesn't make any sense. flash was created as a common runtime to allow developers to write one piece of software and it work on all browsers, and avoid having to deal with cross-browser client-side standards that weren't being adhered to.
creating a browser just to run a plug-in doesn't make sense and has no benefit not to mention they'd lose the market penetration that has kept them relevant in this niche so long. they even beat java at their own game.
