Because it is the closest thing we have to a universal video format. 
Pure and simple, if I want to put out something like a "How to assemble" 
or a video of a meeting, I could do wmv for the MS folk, and ogg for the 
Linux folk, and {can't remember} for the Mac folk (I have a script for 
ffmpeg), or I can do flash and everyone can use it.

If you want to communicate with others, and view their communication 
with you, flash is the format to use.

If you never communicate with the outside world, it's optional.
