Looks like Adobe makes about 26% of their revenue from EMEA, so it's clearly worth it for them to continue operating there and deal with the regulatory overhead. But is it possible for them to have a different corporate structure that mitigates some of these challenges? For example, could they license their technology to an EU-based distributor instead of having direct operations in the EU?

Hacks work on computers where no leeway is given either way. In the legal world, this would be an indication that you knew that what you're doing will be challenged and might get an extra penalty for it.

Adobe’s annual revenue in EMEA is close to $5 billion. Figma’s global revenue is around $500 million.

If they lost just 10% of EMEA revenue to antitrust avoidance shenanigans, it would be equivalent to losing the Figma revenue stream entirely. A publicly held company can’t really afford to play that kind of games.

I don't disagree with your analysis. However, I do wonder if Adobe purchased Figma because of the current revenue streams, or that they'd much rather either want to prevent having to face a new competitor, or alternatively, get all the proceeds of said competitor.

And all EU based employees plus the cost of winding down existing contracts would be extremely expensive.
