Or is it a problem that you can't stream with that, you can just upload video.

a. The HTML5 specification has not been completed yet.
b. HTML5 adoption is only in the latest browsers.

While I do hate Flash, I haven't had this problem with ustream/YouTube. Even with solutions like Portable VLC, is the general public really going to want to resort to that? I think not. While the CD community might go at great lengths with technology to get what they want - most wouldn't.

Correct, but market share is a huge thing, you can probably find Flash on 80%+ of devices (even some mobile devices).
