I hope that there is no secret that the company is Adobe doing everything to ensure that its products were not released under Linux systems.

I really wonder where this attitude from Adobe comes from. I mean in the past they seemed always close with Apple. That could have explained the attitude. But then Apple refused to ship Flash and released alternatives to Adobe products. It really seems like a bad business attitude from Adobe.
Adobe wasn't really that close with Apple, Adobe's customers were. Adobe wanted their customers to move to Windows.

What you refer to as a bad attitude from Adobe is actually the biggest antitrust and corporate bullying scam in the entire history of the Internet, courtesy Steve Jobs. If you are really interested in figuring what happened, I invite you to check this Facebook page https:www.facebook.com/OccupyHTML5.
If you want my personal insider opinion on the facts, and what is wrong with both Adobe and Apple, check this posts and all its comments: https://www.facebook.com/occupyhtml5/posts/10151861946595679.
If you want to know what Jobs was scared of, and why he took such extreme measure to exterminate competition to iTunes and AppStore by killing the web, despite threat of international antitrust investigation by both FTC and EU Commission, check this Facebook note: https://www.facebook.com/notes/stephane-beladaci/one-code-an..., and this post: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152254219025679.
