Oh, come on.

The computer market has never been more consolidated, less diverse and running less operating systems than now. Adobes software runs on the same OSes it ran years ago - Windows and macOS.

Even more so, the software itself has never been less configurable, less flexible and less platform specific. From times where you had adjustable title bars, UI panels and configurable professional UIs we ended up with inflexible, hardcoded layouts with unchangeable fonts and built in HTML filled with recycled JS components that were given to developers for free from others.

And to top all that off, those developers now demand perpetual rent so they don't actually need to show value of updates while they forcefully shove them down our throats with no option to stop.
