DAM as in digital asset management. Fancy word for "image library organiser".
Oh, everything works with Affinity. Thing is, Adobe is pretty much the only software ecosystem that is subtly (or not so subtly) making people think inwards. "I'd love to try that piece of software, but if it's not running as a Photoshop/Lightroom plug in, is it even worth trying?" Whereas when people who use other software are more likely to go "Well my favourite software package doesn't do thing X, but I have this other piece of software that does that, it's not even a hassle."
Also, when I switched from digiKam to ACDSee, at no point did I have to go "but what about my Adobe-locked-in catalogue, oh no!"...
