That's not a problem with feature flags per se, it's a problem with lazy implementations of feature flags. Flags should be associated with an expiry date, and company comms tooling should be consistently yelling in some public channel when expired flags still exist in the codebase.

Oh absolutely. Feature flags are great, but you definitely need discipline to make sure you clean things up. The longer the unused code rots, the harder it is to remove it.
