They don't have to support it and once Flash is obsolete no one will miss it. It's proprietary, player dependent, has too many limitations and not enough benefits.
More people are starting to to switch to more universal formats like H.264 MP4 that will play on a PC, MAC, iPad via HTML5, iPod as well as mobile phones and devices.
This format plays in a Flash player so chances are good that on a lot of sites what you think is Flash video is really not a flash file at all - it's just using the player.
