For my purposes it hasn't been relevant anyway: I've been building data-intensive UIs that would be -- well, saying that making them accessible would be "challenging" is probably the understatement of the year. They're so chart-dependent that I can't even imagine how to make them work accessibly.
But the point is a fair one -- regardless of how challenging or not Flash is for building accessible interfaces, in practice it just doesn't happen...
