I am not advocating for Adobe trying to market to existing Linux users who don't use Adobe products: I am advocating for Adobe attempting to commoditize their complement by building a custom distribution of Linux with its own first-party UI toolkit... maybe we call it AdobeOS, similar to how Google decided to make a play with ChromeOS. ChromeOS is now way more popular than "Linux": I think the same would be true for AdobeOS, and I think it would be remarkably little effort for Adobe to move in that direction.

FWIW, I do appreciate: "they don't need to do that as long as Windows doesn't get so bad that you stop using Adobe products because of it", and I sadly appreciate that maybe that market is pretty small (and so far doesn't even include me); but like, the logic for why I could see Apple or Google building their own OS in such a situation somehow stands: Adobe absolutely gets burned by Apple and has most of the same benefits to be had as Google for moving to a self-controlled vertical stack.
