Yes, If the content is basically all text, then there is no advantage
to using flash, with the single exception if you want to present that
text in a highly graphical stylized manner.

Making the content accessible is NOT a huge effort on the part of the
Flash developer. It is little more than flipping a switch. So that
is not the issue. The issue is that most Flash developers (thread
contributors excluded) don't care about accessibility.
