Adobe did not understand who flash was competing with
Adobe did not make an adequate update delivery system and did not make a normal bug bounty program
Adobe did not confer with companies that created browsers
Adobe did not give flash to open source
Causes of death are the same as for Java in browsers
Wildly slow, with poor architecture, tied to one vendor, lack of third-party implementations.
Because most mobile browsers do not support it (drains battery very quickly). And more and more users are surfing the Internet through mobile devices, there is no point in technology that only works on the strength of half of the visitors.
Yes, and all major modern desktop browsers also disable flash by default and require additional gestures to enable it (but if someone needs flash, they still provide the ability to enable it)
They poured a little money into development and it slowly died by itself.
Apple messed up a little more by refusing to support mobile safari.
