What was your reason to use the product (to what end) and what has changed now that you now have no reason to continue to use it? What has Adobe to do with it?

I get that some have fears that Affinity is getting unusable for them in the future so maybe it's good to look for alternatives. But if you are willing to switch to Adobe you can do this when it has gotten unusable.

The promise of Affinity: a professional graphic design package without the hefty monthly subscription cost of Adobe. Now it is "free". How come?! I don't take it! It's a fundamental law of economics that there is no free lunch. I will not be paying for the product with my personal data.

Adobe's products are more professional than Affinity's, and they are de facto the norm for professional graphic design.

The main reason for me to consider non-free software for graphic design is not that Gimp, Inkscape, etc. are not good enough and lacking in features. It's about the social aspect of working and interacting with other peer designers.
