Photoshop has been around for 34 years, even if they jacked the price up to $500/month nobody would be able to show up with feature parity to compete for 100% of their customers right away. It's a heck of a moat.

Sure, but the thread is also full of people claiming Adobe is rent seeking. Charging a high price for differentiated, unique features that competitors haven't replicated is not rent seeking. That's just capitalism.
