Surely you're joking, right? The deal they have is that approximately 0% of people use Linux.

I’m not joking, but I was explicit in my lack of certainty so I hope that speaks for itself.
Your reasoning is convincing enough as it stands, and falls in line with their approach of only adding new features when competition appears.
I think Adobe has a deal with Apple (and possibly Microsoft) which entices them away from delivering Photoshop for Linux, but I hear it runs well in Wine!
Adobe’s purchase of Macromedia has proven to be the thorn that any concerned spectator would have expected it to be. I think I was in high school at the time (loose guess). I used Adobe products for a good 10 years professionally after college and can attest that the Adobe software has essentially not changed beyond file format support and lock-in features. EDIT: Media Encoder is nice (now) but a good decade later than it should have been. The very recent improvements to After Effects sound useful but again too little too late. They appear to only be responding when competition appears.
