Just b/c of iPad/iPhone but that'll change soon. Just a temporary thing. New tablets are coming out that are much faster than the iPad.
Let's face it, Flash isn't ending in the next two years. Flash Player will be handling video like a champ soon enough. Companies will be creating mobile versions of sites where they don't use tons of Flash ads on the site like the desktop version of the site.
At that point, why wouldn't you use Flash? It won't be killing CPU/battery. It'll probably come pre-installed on most Android phones. It's easy to get the plugin, people have been doing it regularly for close to a decade. People trust it (I'm not talking about grouchy web developers, I'm talking normal people).
Sooner or later Apple will have to put it on iOS, just to stay in competition.
I have an iPad and yeah I do run into occasions where a site has Flash on it and it sucks not being able to see if. It may not be important enough for me to go nutty over it and go run to see if on my laptop but I'd like the option to see the whole web on whatever device I'm using.
Shitty hardware shouldn't be stopping me from something I was able to view with a desktop computer from 10 years ago.
