Does Apple really hate it's customers?

Does HTML5 Really Beat Flash? The Surprising Results of New Tests

It seems Apple is up to it's old tricks of treating customers with total disregard and artificially slowing the performance of Flash by blocking Adobe from using hardware accelerated graphics API libraries. These libraries in Windows caused a five fold reduction in CPU usage for some Flash functions so you would think Apple would want to pass this benefit onto its customers, but it seems not.

Wasn't this arrogance the same thing that caused them to lose their way before?
