I've heard that that's similar to why Adobe creative cloud was so easy to pirate for years (maybe it still is, idk, I switched to affinity forever ago). Adobe is the industry standard because everyone uses it -> person wants to learn photo/video editing, digital illustration, etc, but can't afford it -> pirate Adobe instead of trying cheaper/free alternatives, because it's the industry standard -> person with Adobe skills gets hired by business that pays for Adobe legitimately because that's what most people know -> Adobe is the industry because everyone uses it, and the cycle goes on...
