    Headline should reflect that it’s because of regulators, Adobe for sure would like to be a monopoly. Second time we were saved since Nvidia buying Arm got canceled.

      Well, specifically, a market monopoly for UX design tools. They already have a pretty strong stranglehold over other creative disciplines. Illustration, photography, graphic design, print publishing, etc.

      Like UX, there are lots of smaller alternatives, but Adobe’s apps dominate the pro space.
