Why do so many websites including large parts of YouTube's content require this POS? YouTube still requires Flash even if you have a HTML5 capable browser... Does anyone know why?

I'm travelling right now, but wanted to see some World Cup matches. But many of the websites hosting games force you to use Flash, and with all the popup ads to dodgy Ad brokers, I've had a few hairy moments wondering if my machine is going to be pwned...
