Adobe would definitely profit from languages such as Rust. But they are not a "tech" company in the traditional sense anymore, I don't see them investing in anything that doesn't yield high short term returns. It's a big company that dominates the "creative" market, because it can impose its formats on an industry that does not care about open technologies.

Rust isn't a cure-all for every security issue.
True, and there are lots of security exploits that are caused by logical error, but the majority of those CVEs are caused by memory corruption, use-after-free and out-of-bounds memory corruption.
All errors avoidable in Rust, as well as other safe languages, outside unsafe blocks.
