in case of things that has very few producers you are unfortunately true.
in every other, narrowing the offer to half won't be disastrous, and those 
who made flash-only website will lose few% of potential clients.

with well designed website (i don't mean it can't have flash, but it must 
be usable without) everybody will read.

and making all-compatible site isn't difficult. it's very easy
