No one is going to get "flash 9 on freebsd with opera" for 200 dollars. I know people will want to add bounties to it and it will be like 250 then like 300 and as time passes it will be a million dollars or such but I don't think the problem is that people aren't willing to do the work, its that places like adobe has closed its software so that we can't really create anything.
