The forum comment is from 10 years ago. I have no idea if it still (or ever) accurately describes Abobe's internal decision-making. I do not and have never worked for Adobe, so regardless of the merits of your assertions I can't change anything.

That said, if I had to make an assumption about Adobe's perspective, I'd assume that the position of many linux users that desktop software shouldn't require a recurring subscription was (and is) the main obstacle from Adobe's perspective, not distribution.
