Firefox (open source) supported Flash for ages. Chromium (also open source) did as well. Everyone knows Flash.

That's a good thing; it's a constant source of vulnerabilities. I haven't had it installed on any of my systems for years now.

WordPress isn't XHTML, HTML 5, or anything else. Want XHTML? Use a theme that outputs XHTML. Want HTML 5? Use a theme that outputs HTML 5.

Was there even an actual question in there?

This actually doesn't matter, sort of. As long as standard rendering mode is triggered instead of old quirks rendering mode it doesn't _really_ matter what doctype you use, as long as you use a doctype. html4, html5, xhtml they are all "anything goes" because browsers bend over backwards to allow your code to work as much as they can.
