It uses Adobe AIR, not Flash.

Adobe AIR contains support for Flash so that means nothing

Semi-support. What shall we do, however, if you DO have flash installed somehow?
For example, My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 110.0.0.0, Flash 32.0 (release 0)

no support, ways to use flash still exist
My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Firefox 118.0, Flash 32.0 (release 0)

That isn’t the good reason
just because some people knows
doesn’t mean other people know

Maybe, but Flash is no longer used on the site, it's useless and requires storage in the posts for no purpose.
Support.

No support. Having information about your current Flash version is very useful, especially when you're trying to fix problems.

I mean, I guess for Scratch 2.0 since you can use the online editor still if you have Flash, but I think most people just get the latest version without a timebomb now. Scratch 3.0 doesn’t use Adobe Flash.

Well yeah, though I think they’re suggesting this because of the fact that Scratch 3.0 doesn’t use Flash, and those don’t support AS3 well so you can’t really use Scratch 2.0 (unless you download the actual Flash).

I mean, can't you only use the online editor through external sites that are not owned by the Scratch Team, anyways?

Support, having information about your Flash version is no longer helpful. Plus, the only version that works nowadays is Flash 32.0, so you might as well mention it yourself at this point

No support. Some people actually do have flash
My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 117.0.0.0, Flash 32.0 (release 0)
This could help with bugs that flash is causing..
