Which is why it's fine to challenge the comment. The commenter is implying a lot considering he doesn't have any inside knowledge of Adobe Sign.
And even if you look at public data--esignatures being relatively new, Covid moving more things to digital, DocuSign's share price up 5x since their 2018 IPO, Dropbox acquiring HelloSign for $230M, Adobe's own share price up 15x in the last 10 years--there's not much to indicate that Adobe Sign is a legacy app that could just survive in maintenance mode.
There's also a tendency for people to underestimate the size and complexity of applications because they only use a fraction of the features.
