It's interesting to see the "why" there. As far as I can tell, there is one fundamental thing missing from touch interfaces that 95% of flash games and apps require. "mouse-hover". There's simply no way to move your mouse somewhere to get a list of options or stats or something, without clicking it. I know there are touch interfaces that support finger hover over a touch pad, but they're not very common yet. The same goes for force-detection. (though that one's coming to iOS from what I've read?) Those might finally fix this hole, albeit too late.
