Nobody that I know of has claimed otherwise. The claim is that you wouldn't want to run it because of stability, performance and battery life issues.
> In my opinion Apple do not like Flash and AIR because it is a major threat to revenue from App Store sales.
That's a common opinion, but I don't see how it holds up. If you're talking about free Flash games the obvious competition would be free iPhone games which Apple makes no money off of. If you're talking about ad-supported Flash games then the competition would be ad-supported iPhone games, which Apple makes no money off of.
> The other aspect of Flash that worries Apple is obviously control. They have none over that content. So if someone wanted to produce a strip poker app with full nudity, for example, they could, and have it running full screen on an Apple device.
That's also reaching. They have no control over any webapp you build either, and you could certainly pull off a strip poker game online without flash. You could even use real people.
