They'll never stop using Flash until it's taken away from them, because there's no financial pressure upon them to invest in ongoing maintenance and upgrades otherwise.

This is also going to break a massive chunk of the food permit and driver's ed markets overnight.

Well, overnight after years of warnings, anyway.

They knew and they chose not to prepare, so while I regret that normal people are being punished here, I certainly have no sympathy whatsoever for the companies that chose not to act.

It’s not overnight. Much like the removal of 32bit apps on macOS, this was mentioned time and again. Not paying attention to soft wear that you’re business depends on is not an excuse, neither is “thinking of the children”.
