> When it was first launched one of the most well publicised talking points about it was that it didn’t support flash.

Well known by who? I know about it, you know about it. Look where we are and what we read.
If I ask my friends if they knew about this, the first thing most would say is "What's Flash?"
Many of them would say the App Store shipped with the iPhone on Day 1.
We are in a bubble, and it's not gaslighting to point that out.
> But you think a persons right to make their own software choices should be restricted just because you think this is important? Why should anybody have any regard for what you think?
This is always the argument peddled out, like "now you'll be forced to use these things". You like the Apple way, then keep doing that. I like the Apple way and will keep doing it. It's weird for you to describe being given additional options is having something 'forced' upon you, or that your choices are being 'restricted' by having additional options now. Now that is getting to some 1984-ish language games.
