    Well. the first mistake this clown did was to pretend to be Adobe Flash.  That alone will pretty much assure that no one on a Mac will install it. :)
    Don't be surprised...many people still need Flash for certain things. Unfortunately, websites still require it here and there. 
    Yeah, too many to mention. It's simply not possible for me to avoid it yet, as much as I'd like to.

    Like xfinity tv and NBA to name two big ones. Of course these sites work fine on iOS devices. 
    youtube
    YouTube hasn't required Flash in years. 

    It will USE Flash if you have it installed (I don't).

    I have a site for work that requires Flash. I hate it and would love to uninstall it completely, but sadly, some people insist on using it.

    I haven't had flash installed on my Mac in years... Malware and flash go hand in hand.
