I think in general Flash development is on the decline and HTML5 is on the rise, but there's a lot of Flash stuff still out there that isn't going to get magically updated to HTML5.
I guess I'm just used to not having it around. I rarely feel like I'm missing out, mainly because most of the sites that use Flash for stuff like Navigation, etc., are sites that either came around to opening up their standards and not using stupid Flash, or are sites I replaced already for ones that did :-)

For example, when I first got my iPhone, no news sites I cared about used HTML 5 for video. CNN was first. I got used to using CNN. Now I use CNN. I don't feel like I'm missing out by not going to MSNBC or FoxNews or any of the others. I'll admit that since news is news, my use case may just be different, but I don't really feel like I'm missing out in that case, and really Flash just keeps me from seeing videos and infographics, but I can always read the story which is what I go to these sites for anyway.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
