Re: Why does Windows 10 bundle Flash?

"From my experience in end user computing stuff, Flash installed standalone almost never gets updated."

That surprises me. My experience with Flash a long while ago was that I had to manually select "NO, don't fucking update automatically whenever you feel like it" after EVERY update. I like stuff to check for update and inform me they are available, but Flash was one of the most nagging ones to try to default to automatic updates every time, not respecting my choice to upgrade when it;s convenient to me. (and to try to install bloody toolbars or other crapware as part of the update.)
