You seem to be experiencing a severe brain outage, Roblimo.
Developing a competitor to Flash 8/9 is for losers (though probably someone will do it). Sure, the prices are high because there's no competition. But as soon as competition appears, Adobe will lower its prices just enough to retain 90% of the market.
Meanwhile, it's a non-problem for content producers: they can just continue to use Flash 7 which can be cheaply produced.
It's a problem for Linux-on-the-desktop advocates, because every so often a Linux user will click on a site that says "Flash 8 required", and realise thay can't have it because they run Linux. Maybe that's what got you started. But in that case, you should have made that your story instead of the BS that you actually wrote.
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
This is more of a drool than a rant
