Basically... quoting....

"For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser
plugin for Linux will only be available via the “Pepper” API as part
of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be
available as a direct download from Adobe."

So... unless you use Google Chrome on Linux... no Adobe Flash for
you.
(there's always Gnash, but is it up to the task?)

Do we need Flash? I think this one is basically for streaming services
like Netflix who will not be using HTML5 unless there is some DRM
crap.

Yes we need Flash. There are gazillions of websites using flash for all
kinds of things.
