Its a substantially reduced web experience.

Apparently Microsoft disagrees with you.

"IE team lead Dean Hachamovitch wrote in the post that going plug-in free in for the Metro version of IE10 "improves battery life as well as security, reliability and privacy for consumers."

"Plug-ins were important early on in the web’s history. But the web has come a long way since then with HTML5. Providing compatibility with legacy plug-in technologies would detract from, rather than improve, the consumer experience of browsing in the Metro style UI," he noted."

"Its a substantially reduced web experience.."

My point is that it has been an imperceptibly reduced web experience, if that.

I am continually amazed by how much of the web has been optimized specifically for the iPad, beyond the substitution of flash. The version of gmail for the iPad, for instance, is fantastic, as good as a native app.
