Not all sites use Flash obnoxiously. That's probably why you don't notice that so many of the sites you visit each day use it.

If you use a Desktop Twitter client, chances are it's Flash based.

I agree that it is very resource heavy. But that's no excuse not to support it in a web browsing tablet. The iPad (and even iPhone) could technically support Flash with no problems at all. They just chose not to. It's not as bad when you are using a mobile browser, but to make a web browsing device and not include Flash? There really is no excuse for it (although I have seen Apple fanboys try. And fail.)
