Nobody who wanted to erase a tree or fix their smile paid for Photoshop anyway. and Photoshop does a a lor more than pixel manipulation. So, a moot point.

It's like asking where all the skyscrapers are when The Home Depot opens up in your neighborhood.

And as someone that's used photoshop professionally for decades, pixel manipulation is precisely what it does.
