Also... no one's forcing people to use their products. Photoshop doesn't have a patent on editing images. Lightroom doesn't have a patent on sorting through photo collections. Plenty of paid and free alternatives exist, they're just not as good. But it's a completely free market out there and Adobe can't stop you from building a better version of Photoshop tomorrow to make billions.

Make a serious dent in their business and they will damn sure try. Typically with lawfare.
