This is actually untrue. When Flash first appeared he was considered to be a macro bot, just look at old live reports or youtube videos too see what people thought of him - either a mindless macro bot or a cheeser.

I heard commentators say a couple of times about how Flash would have lapses in unit control during late game TvZ.

Well said.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

If choosing who were the best depending on golds alone, there wouldn't be any need for ELO rankings, KeSPA rankings and Power Ranks.

Imo its more like this:

Jaedong usually wins before late game.
Bisu is protoss so he FE's most of the time, therefore being passive early game.
Flash is terran, so obviously his late game is strong due to 3/3 mech being the rapemachine that it is.

They are all amazing players.

Jaedong, Bisu, and Flash are all really good. The only real difference between them are the races they play and their title wins. Jaedong doesn't really have any weaknesses, except maybe for having little creative play (which he doesn't need because of his sick mechanics). Bisu sometimes plays sloppily with noob mistakes, but other than that, on any typical day his play is perfect. Flash is a turtling beast and is mostly likely only going to lose to early game aggression because nobody is going to beat him in the late game.

People rarely try truly weird builds on Bisu or Flash except that period of like a week where Bisu lost 4 games in a row.

Flash can turtle.

I don't like his style though, too safe that it looks boring already. Maybe if he adapted a Fantasy style TvP then things would get interesting, considering how scary his macro is.

Having lapses in unit control in late game TvZ is kinda inevitable for both sides due to the sheer power and fragility of the units involved with the exception of ultralisks, and I sometimes thinkthe commentators probably mentioned Flash's late game micro as his weakness because his macro obviously wasn't weak at all, as even if he lost units due to a flash of swarmed lurkerlings or something, his barracks were always churning out units. Of course his bio micro might not be as good as players like Casy or Hwasin, but those players are reknowned for their TvZ micro, so it's not really a fair comparison.

He has lost plenty of straight up games. He has also lost many times because he made awful decisions and most of the other S-Class gamers are far smarter than he is.

I don't think you can back that up. Jaedong's decision making is normally excellent, save a few times when he is faced with something he's never seen before. He wouldn't be the #1 player otherwise.
