this was always so scummy and I never understood it, it's not like adobe needed the money from bundling or whatever

Oracle used to do this also with Java updates.

I will never not wish for a second that Larry Ellison gets fired into the sun.

To be fair flash was super buggy and super prone to accidently letting hackers turn your PC into a botnet zombie via drive by adverts.

Why though? IDGI. Is sandboxing something so all it can do is make pixels in a box so very hard? They had so many years to fix this stuff. What kinds of OS hooks did Flash based malware exploit?
