The truth is that Adobe dragged their feet in coming up with a good mobile Flash player. They spent too much time investing in "Flash Lite" before switching their focus to a robust mobile player. And the new version of Flash, 10.1, was not available when the iPad launched. So I think both parties are to blame, surely Adobe could have done more to ensure Flash was a solid option for devices like the iPad at the time of launch.
As far as Jobs goes, who knows what his motivations are? I wouldn't put it down to just greed. Apparently he hates keyboards too for instance, and I don't think there's much business logic there. It may be that along with the issue of competing with the app store, he simply doesn't like the idea of Flash in general and thought it was time to jettison it.
