> Flash worked perfectly fine on Android back in the day
This is absolutely false. It was not fine, much less "perfectly fine".
It was slow to touch respond, super laggy. You couldn't hover. Scrolling and tapping wasn't supported right. It broke browser navigation when you weren't expecting it.
I think it might have gotten better in time, particularly as mobile hardware itself got more powerful, and creators designed flash apps with mobile interfaces in mind.

TBF, not much did. Android was pretty rough until v4.
When Flash was deprecated for Android the official advice from Google was to send an HLS stream instead, but those caused some variants of the Galaxy S3 (the biggest selling handset at the time) to hard lock and the user would have to pull the battery.
Let's not pretend that early instability was all Flash's fault.

Flash never worked on Android fully.
