These kind of scenarios are key. People forget that companies have invested millions of dollars into systems based on this technology.
In the early 2000's I worked for an e-learning company. All of their courses were interactive, popular with large corporations and trained employees from fire safety, to compliance to business processes. It had user testing built in and in order to deliver the interactivity and keep it interesting, Flash was the perfect tool. It has great hooks that you could use JavaScript to get data and out, and interface with backbend databases/scripts and of the shelf e-learning management systems.
Much of those e-learning courses are still being used today. Most of the content is still relevant today. It makes no sense to throw it away.
It is companies like these and those of the parent poster, that are the key reason why Adobe cannot simply pull the kill switch
