Yes, and even so, couldn't they just pick one GUI toolkit and publish Flash statically linked to it?

I can't speak to Adobe's practices, but from what I heard in the past one of the lead business requirements for the Flash player (on its primary platforms) in the Macromedia days was that the download size be kept as small as possible. Linking in one toolkit or the other would, I imagine, not be conducive to meeting that requirement.
