I thought Adobe was boned 15 years ago (2011) when they debuted Creative Cloud and it was universally despised while their stranglehold on PDF manipulation was already well on its way out, yet here they are still alive and kicking. I chalk it up to the inertia of big dumb orgs that would rather keep paying for a piece of crap they're familiar with than risk trying something new.
