Money.  It's likely that the ideal solution (i.e. updating the Media Handler
to use a version of Flash that's less than five years old in order to fix
several security flaws that exist in the current Media Handler) would be
very expensive for Apple.

I agree.  But if the Media Hander was disabled because of one or more
security flaws, fixing that would require resources that Apple may not be
willing to pony up.

Adobe no longer needs QuickTime for that.
