Okay, I know this is going to be hard to understand, but you can't have ying without yang. There is no heads without tails.
The porn business makes the most money when some people hate it, most people fear it, and few people are willing to talk about it in polite company. The forbidden nature of porn is what has always made it command a premium price and make it into the forbidden fruit we keep to ourselves.
Larry Flynt picked on Falwell and many others because he knows that their moral outrage is the best advertising he can buy. When the mainstream media started talking about Hustler, Flynt had won, no matter when happened. That he also happened to rub Falwell's nose in it by winning the lawsuit made it oh that much sweeter.
Without Falwell (or a Falwell type character) Flynt is just peeing into the breeze. So yeah, I suspect he will miss him.
