There is a good amount of existing Flash content on the web. Adobe has de-emphasized the production of new Flash content several years ago, and pivoted its products (and customers) towards HTML5. Killing Flash outright would do next to no good to Adobe. Google (and on their heels, Mozilla) are well on their way in making accessing existing Flash content more and more difficult [1], which probably appeals to people who think Flash needs to be banished, but most likely frustrates people who want continued to access to that content. But that being said, in all likelihood, Adobe will eventually stop issuing even security fixes to Flash Player, especially once Chrome and other browsers have put that content behind click-to-plays, warnings, etc., or if Chrome and Microsoft stop their bundling of updates.
