This is exactly what happens when you allow one proprietary plugin to become dominant. I have no doubt that that it's not in Adobe's best financial interests to devote more resources to the OSX Flash plugin. It's a small subset of the market. Most users are just going to suffer with what they have. Adobe loses nothing by offering a subpar experience on OSX at this point. I understand it's not realistic to simply say "don't use Flash, ever" because open standards aren't entirely interchangeable with the wide range of Flash apps out there. That being said we should certainly be trying to minimize the amount of Flash used on the Internet. As an avid user of Click2Flash I find it's quite easy to avoid Flash the majority of the time.
