I think it was the other way around, Adobe didn't dump Flash on mobile. Also until the "sun comes out tomorrow" why can't a part of the market (smaller/bigger) enjoy the better experience that Flash offers and HTML5 cannot? (animations, games, livestreaming and so on)

From 2011:

Adobe ends mobile Flash development, will focus on HTML5

Adobe will no longer update its Flash plugin for mobile browsers, though it will continue to issue security updates and bug fixes. The company issued a statement to developers conceding that "HTML5 is now universally supported on major mobile devices, in some cases exclusively," adding "that makes HTML5 the best solution for creating and deploying content in the browser across mobile platforms."
