The 500-euro bill is being phased out for similar reasons. Though it's worth noting a 100-dollar bill was worth more than twice what it is today when Pablo Escobar died.

And many stores do not accept 200 Euro bills due to the same reason.
Stores don’t accept 200 euro notes because most people haven’t seen one. I regularly get 500 euro notes, but I think I’ve only held a 200 euro note once in my life.
I would assume the stores not wanting to accept them is actually due to concerns about counterfeiting.
