I don't even want to use it but the client passes me a PSD which I have to open accurately.

Photoshop puts like 5 folders in Utilities folder for no reason in macOS and runs bunch of daemons (which apparently can be a cause of bad vulnerabilities) and is dog slow in performance compared to a modern alternative like Affinity Photo.

Market dominance surely puts customer satisfaction to the end of the line.

Affinity Pro seems to deal w PSD pretty handily; have you tried it?
