The only point you have is that you hate Flash.
Your technical arguments about it don't match up to the reality.
Flash hacks just started really; the rest of the list has been hacked for 20 years already.

Flash is not bad just of security problems , it is bad also due:
1. bothering user to update almost on daily bases
2. ignoring browser network setting and running in container
3. need to have installed plugin in browser to make it work
Also, none of those 4 things which you listed are so widely used as flash - flash is basically a must have if you wanted to see things like youtube videos(not needed anymore but it was till recently), while you dont need any of those of 4 things to see videos.
