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.
