I subscribe that at least part of the 'problem' is Adobe's (previously Macromedia's) attention to the Mac. Flash has always been subpar, and I'm not alone in that the majority of apps that crash Flash is the root problem. If Adobe would step up their game it would probably go a long way, but they may have already blown their chance. Jobs does not like that Safari crashes unexpectedly, especially cause the layman user doesn't realize it was really the Flash plugin.
