Enclaves are rarely broken and the people that can are selling it to the CIA, not leaking it on the pirate bay.
To pay for the privilege of using a very advanced AI model. That's more reasonable than paying to unlock a game character skin that's already on your SSD, and that happens millions of times a day.

I don't see anything stopping this.
Software companies already do that. There are kinds of locally-run advanced features that are only enabled with a more expensive subscription tier.
I would have said the consumer sentiment amongst Adobe users is the exact opposite - that people don't trust Adobe products but they use them because they either have to or because they're currently the best products available.
Whether Adobe ever decides to let their model run locally or lock it forever into the cloud is a choice they will have to make. A lot of people trust Adobe products, so it's entirely conceivable that some people will always choose to pay for a pay-per-use generative solution from Adobe rather than try to run competing solutions locally. The question is probably whether it generates more revenue than negativity for Adobe. If most Adobe users are running their own models locally and avoiding the feature, then I think Adobe will be more likely to follow suit and move away from the pay-per-use cloud approach.
