Some businesses run on code more than ten years old.

They don’t care if you sympathize. The business or institution decides how it wants to prioritize replacement, and some projects miss deadlines.

If you think that every application running in an enterprise has stopped using Flash, you’re sorely mistaken.

Sure. Can't have it both ways though: you're welcome to choose to implement on a soon to be deprecated tech stack but you don't get to bitch about it or expect the maintainers of said stack to suddenly change their minds about deprecating.
