Flash is an Adobe program that allows people to animate, process, and upload videos, among many other things. The Flash plugin guaranteed it would work just as well on any computer or browser. Steve Jobs decided not to put Adobe Flash in the iPhone, he felt HTML5 was better and more reliable than Flash. It may have lost the iPhone, but it still had YouTube. Flash was better with videos than HTML5, so they decided to stick with Flash instead of switching to HTML. Another website that decided to stick with Flash was Facebook. Their online games were all made with Flash, they tried to switch it to HTML, but haven't had much luck. So for now Facebook is stuck using Flash. In 2011 Adobe released Edge Animation, but then turned around in 2015 and changed its name to Animate CC, which uses HTML5. Chrome recently announced that they would no longer be showing results that used Flash, they said if you wanted to see those options, you would have to change it in your settings. The future of Flash is basically nonexistent, once there is no one left to keep Flash running all the websites built with it and other Flash content will no longer exist.
