And every browser in existence reports itself as Mozilla, but that doesn't mean we ignore that fact in user agent detection.

It's a Flash substitute so it needs to pretend to be Flash to be used by things that need to detect Flash. They aren't going to change this any time soon and we really shouldn't tell every Linux user with Gnash that they should install latest Adobe Flash.
