1) It takes a long time to make a powerful system like Flash Player stable enough, Google Map has been using webGL for a long time, improved a lot still crash all the time. 2) Politically, none of the major browser vendors would let anything our of their control grow bigger anymore, Flash Player is the only exception, it came too early and too important to the web to be killed.
The only chance to implement high performance application across main stream browsers is still Flash with stage3D AGAL, time has proved it, I don't the majority get it, when it comes to tech, this is usually it, most just follow what others say. Sad haaa? What if spent time in implementing Flex with AGAL from the very beginning? Flash platform might not be on the hanging edge...
