Why improve the product when you can coast on your brand's previously earned credibility until you sell again?!

That’s adobe’s whole biz model. It works really well
Adobe has some top-tier software though and they keep improving it. It's like a senior leader at my company said - "Oracle's a terrible company but their stuff works". This was during a discussion of another company's software that was also a black box and didn't even work well.
Top tier software from a functionality standpoint, but not from a usability standpoint.

In my experience, oracle stuff barely works too, unless you pay for extra support that is.
