Flash removal broke multiple government sites. I couldn't take a required training course for a few months after flash support was removed and the site was taken offline for an upgrade.

I’m sure ActiveX and Silverlight removal did too. And iframes not sharing cross domain cookies. And HTTP mixed content warnings. I get it, some of these are not web specs, but some were much more popular than XSLT is now.

The government will do what they do best, hire a contractor to update the site to something more modern. Where it will sit unchanged until that spec too is removed, some years from now.

Flash was never a web standard. XLST is.

What's the practical different to users and site maintainers?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but can't XSLT be processed server side instead of browser side?

It seems like a very easy fix for the handful of websites that still use it.
