An April's fool joke that is not so funny today

I don't get the non-joke.

Is it because this sounds scarily close to the 3.3.1 Flash kerfuffle? If so, wouldn't this piece then fall into the category of 'it's funny because it's true'?

I think Apple will like the joke and work on making it real.

If Apple wins, Adobe will be forced to target HTML5. And Flash will wither away. No other company is positioned as well as Adobe and has the intellectual capital to build a world-class HTML5 integrated development environment. However, Adobe really makes a lot of revenue from selling the servers (Flash Media Server). It is doubtful they will eat their main product line, as they are technology vegans.
