SaaS pricing works best on business products that provide value consistently & you need to know support exists. Very few of the things I pay recurring for are for software that I use recreationally - they provide value every day (office, google apps / email, hosting, etc). The products you mentioned (adobe) is still hosted. Customer backlash today is worth dealing with long-term viability & profit. Companies that start as a SaaS will not have the backlash problem.
