Well by moving to HTML5 you'd loose more users then you gain (smartphones and tablets), secondly at least on smartphones people tend to accept that not everything on a webpage work.
The only thing that really matters here is video (and probably audio). But all other uses of flash will stay this way for the foreseeable future. (Not that I like that but that's unfortunately the reality).
The hype aside the market share of the iPad (compared to other web clients) is at 2.13% [1] which is almost irrelevant compared to windows based systems.

Mozilla started seriously to consider to require click to play in Firefox by default for plugins including Flash and Java to prevent attacks trough unpatched binaries. AFAIK Google considers that for Chrome as well. That can be well the last thing necessary to rid the Web from Flash.

I can't imagine that somebody still browses the Web without NoFlash/Flashblock.
