Flash Player offline installers!!!

Question

Why in the hell do companies like Adobe complicate the process of downloading and installing a file (in my case Flash Player.)

They started to make those little installation programs of few kilobytes or few megabytes, that once started, they will start to download the main program/software that was supposed to download from the first time.

I understand these things on programs that have file size of few hundred megabytes or gigabytes, but, wtf??? for 20 MB that Flash Player offline installation has, why in the hell Adobe do you like to make things worse, even now on the era of high internet speed that evolved so much from the dial-up era, but, this is beyond of my knowledge.

And if that was not enough, you're also not allowed to download from the first time the offline installer of the file in the download center, no way, you must download that little program that downloads the main offline installation program...

So, please Adobe, in the name of internet, end this horrible joke and bring back the offline installer files for Flash Player products targeted to end-users (home-users).

Offline installers have always been posted. They never went away. What went away (actually, modified workflow) was the distribution page, meant for customers who license Flash Player for distribution within their organization, but was being egregiously abused by non-licensing customers. I suspect you are referring to this page, not the help pages which have always had the full/offline installer posted to tit.
