More than 2.7 million total downloads. That's a lot of people!!! I don't think there are 140k seos out there, maybe 40k. Are you sure you want to eliminate that many people because you want a pretty navigation widget in flash? Again, flash has its purpose, if I want to develop an application that is graphics intensive (a game, streaming multimedia etc) but its really really annoying when its used for just about anything else TO me. I also like how the article that you point to as saying 98% of computers have flash gives no proof or source for this number. They don't say Adobe claims it, they don't point to a survey or anything which makes me think they pulled the number out of someones ASS.
Well, thank you for throwing that number out there, and thank you for making it so obnoxiously large and red.

According to United States Internet Usage, Broadband and Telecommunications Reports there are 218,302,574 people who use the internet.

For the sake of argument lets assume none of your 2.7 million are people downloading to install on more than one computer, and all of them are actually using the plugin. That's like what? A little over 1%?
