What exactly is a flat-file cabinet and who uses them?

A flat-file cabinet is built around very wide, very shallow drawers — typically 1"–2" deep — designed to store oversized documents lying completely flat: architectural drawings, engineering plans, maps, artwork, and large-format prints. The wide format keeps documents from folding, rolling, or creasing, which is the whole point. They're used in architecture and engineering firms, government agencies, art departments, print rooms, and anywhere that large-format documents need organized, protected storage.
