> Prices will creep up, product segmentation will be introduced, pop-ups pushing expensive service add-ons will eventually appear

Have you used Figma lately? All of those things have been happening for years with Figma, even before rumors about the Adobe purchase appeared.

In terms of pricing model Adobe is generous compared to Figma. Someone with their own creative cloud subscription can open my .psd's. But if I want to collaborate with someone in Figma, I need to pay for their access even if they have their own paid Figma account.
Absolutely, that I agree with.

But even so, Figma's prices have been increasing, the product is being segmented, they're increasingly pushing for various addons, even if Figma still is cheaper than Adobe.

Yes. Which is why I’m surprised that people seem to think this break-up will prevent Figma from turning into yet another Adobe-like SaaS with heavy upsell.
