Pepper flash is at v13 instead of being stuck at 11.2, and is fully sandboxed due to being a PNaCl application. It works just fine with Chromium, as does the PDF plugin, so I don't really understand why anyone is complaining.

I also made the point that Youtube should be a non issue because you can access it even without flash anyway, in more than one way.

I am not talking about just java applets either. Try for examples quicktime and windows player plugiins. Also people who use pipelight for netflix won't be able to any more.

Netflix does have an HTML/JS player via a binary EME DRM module (+ Media Source Extensions and the Web Cryptography API) that works in IE11. Chrome will support EME, and as far as I know an enterprising user could get it working just like the Pepper Flash and PDF plugins.

I couldn't find a reference with a quick google, but it was on several mozilla blogs. Google obviously complained about it (extra traffic).
