Adobe Flash is something I can't for the life of me figure out why

Because it is the closest thing we have to a universal video format. Pure
and simple, if I want to put out something like a "How to assemble" or a
video of a meeting, I could do wmv for the MS folk, and ogg for the Linux
folk, and {can't remember} for the Mac folk (I have a script for ffmpeg), or
I can do flash and everyone can use it.
If you want to communicate with others, and view their communication with
you, flash is the format to use.
If you never communicate with the outside world, it's optional.
Wouldn't it make sense for a universal video format to open?
I agree with you here but until there is one, flash is a great
compromise. At least Adobe is getting better at support.
