Adobe can't do all the work because they are not developers of the
device. Giving them the choice would cost Apple huge amount of
developers time and later support time. The time that can be spent on
newest better technologies. Bolivar cannot carry double. If you want
to stay on bleeding edge of the technological development you have to
cut off not-so-efficient technologies. That's it, the technology
background of his decision.
