As otheres have said, there seems to be less of it. I think more companies are waking up to the fact that flash-only is saying* to customers on hand-helds, old hardware or running old versions of flash - f*** off, we don't want your money.
Possibly, they also check the numbers of people clicking the [SKIP INTRO]. When this hits 80% (I don't think I've sat through an intro yet), the PHB's might begin to wonder what exactly they are paying this wonderkid designer for.
Besides, another point, which the Wiki-article raises, how much flash is on the most viewed web page on the planet?
* or rather, screaming in the ears like an enraged drill sergent.
