When I was designing public web sites, the executives I
presented my work to didn't want to hear anything about load
times, didn't want to hear anything about bandwidth
requirements, didn't want to hear anything about how the
site would work for many low-end customers. One made the
issue clear to me: If they can't afford or aren't inclined
to spend money for the better web connections available,
then do you really want them as customers? Or, are they the
typically kind of person to rely on the web to find
information? Not being a marketing-guy, I didn't have
factual answers to those questions, but having some business
background, I recognize that the executive was probably
right.
The executives logic is faulty where I am concerned.

Well, their logic isn't intended to be based on your
personal behavior, but rather intended to make the best
decision for the owners of the business, based on the
behavior of the market as-a-whole.

I have been a DP professional for over 25 years.

Me too.

It is EXACTLY like that: A business or legal reason prompts
DVD authors to not allow you to speed past warnings and
licenses. Similarly, I'd expect that business reasons
(probably a matter of keeping costs in line with available
resources) prevent making a web site fit like hand-in-glove
to every possible user.
All they have to do is put a link on their web page, "Click
here to skip intro." How much could that cost?

I believe that is covered by the business or legal reasons.

I think that
the sale they lost from my not going on the curise is freater than
the cost to allow me to bypass the flash.

Assuming that you really wouldn't go on the cruise as a
result specifically of the use of Flash on their web site
(and who's web site are we even talking about now???????),
it is very likely that you're in an insignificant minority.
