Windows 10 update permanent removal of adobe flash-WHY? I have blocked the update [View all]

But it will not let me delete it.

All I do is use my PC like a television and I don't want to loose any player compatibility. In the past Flash was a must have to watch video's so I'm hesitant to just roll over for windows 10. Hell they just issued a security patch for adobe a month ago. Why push a permanent removal with no opt out?
