why cant people just give up adobe and switch to davinci and affinity
Ecosystems and collaboration. If you're already using Adobe for X and Y in your teams, it's cheaper to get a CC license; and as for collaboration Adobe files are proprietary (and tbh so are Affinity files) so it's harder to transition off of them. You can open .psd files in affinity, but wanting to export one will rasterize your text. And you can't even export a .ai file, sure you can do pdfs and that preserves vector information and layers, but that's just friction that businesses wouldn't want to deal with.
oh that makes sense, VENDOR LOCK IN.
At this point it's the only assed Adobe has. No one who uses Adobe software actually likes it.
FOSS projects are often worth their salt
