Adobe: Apple could undermine the Web

I missed this from last week: Larry Dignan in ZDNet on the FUD spray from Adobe’s founders:

In the end, we believe the question is really this: Who controls the World Wide Web? And we believe the answer is: nobody — and everybody, but certainly not a single company.

Why is that the question? How does Apple’s position on Adobe’s Flash and Adobe’s cross-platform development tools undermine the web?

Apple doesn’t want resource hogging, crash-prone Flash on their mobile devices. And, Apple doesn’t want lame, mediocre, cross-platform development tools to create apps for their mobile devices. What does that have to do with the Web?
