Krita is not an image manipulation tool, it's a digital painting application aimed at artists. Comparing the two is like saying that oranges are inferior because they're not a truck.
GIMP on the other hand is an apt comparison. Linux users are best to use photoshop under wine.

There’s a big intersection between the two groups

Number of people gained on releasing a linux port is low, since most of them are existing customers. Thus the cost to port to a new platform is not justified.
Why not contribute a little every month to Krita so that it can hire more developers to work, if Krita has the budget of Photoshop, it would just blow it out of water.
PS: Right now there are 5 full time devs and 2 part time, :)

You can always check photopea.com
It's a photoshop in the browser.
But it's no Photoshop.
I'm more positively surprised every time I check it out. As opposed to Gimp, which always feels like a poor man's Photoshop, Krita seems sensible and tasteful.
But it's no Photoshop.
Until/if Adobe releases its suite for some blessed distro, I can't use Linux on my day to day machine. I believe there are a lot more people in my situation than Adobe seems to think.
We are pros and love to tinker with our tools. Linux is, to a fault even, the tinkerer's OS par excellence.
