Flash is different. There is no good choice of flash players, whereas we have evince and xpdf for PDF. I can import PDF in gimp and inkscape if I need to adjust something, but what choices do I have if a flash plugin misbehaves?
It's natural for Mozilla to provide flash functionality, as flash is one of the most popular plugins and its quality is notoriously low.

Don't forget mupdf, which knocks the socks off both the above as far as I'm concerned. (Even support for JS and PDF forms, properly optional in a separate viewer binary so you can be certain it's turned off for the vast majority of PDFs).
