It was probably the right call at the time with low bandwidth. Nowadays I bet flash would execute faster than most js heavy sites :D

It was not the right call, Steve Jobs was just a monopolist killing a competing platform and we're all worse off for it.

Flash was a security and battery disaster just like Java applets. Both are dead as browser plugins and good riddance.
