I don't see why every application should be rewritten for the needs of
the current generation of flash. If this is such a problem for flash,
then maybe the filesystem should implement its own caching strategy
for these pages. (Again, expecting the page cache to understand about
flash's special requirements is unreasonable.)
Your argument makes sense for the embedded market, but not for mainstream.
