I think you will find that a vast chunk of Lion new features came from constructive criticism of Snow Leopard, and forum posts from Mac users.
So I would put apple slightly ahead of Adobe - and no I haven't noticed the absence of flash on my phone either.
Beta versions of lion have been available to developers, even for Adobe, for a very long time. I think everyone was aware they were taking security seriously and rewriting out bad code and routines.
To claim Lion broke Adobe's older products is interesting as their support always recommends using the latest versions themselves. Adobe would seem to like high price tags for their products, but not put the development effort into making them good value for money.
Maybe they haven't yet realised that the rest of us now seek value for money, and not just buy prestige names from the past.
