You do not lose control of your docs when your Adobe (or MS 365)
subscription ends or you stop paying.

You can only open them read-only. You can no longer work with them. You
cannot even export them to a nonproprietary format.

If that’s not “losing control”, tell me what your idea of “control over
your own work” is.

So I rephrase my claim slightly: “Adobe is an irrelevance to 98% of
Windows users”.

 
So?

So Adobe users are a minority of a minority. In the whole wide (Linux-
dominated) world of computing, they add up to a rounding error.

Adobe is very relevant to the world of photography.  Photoshopped long
ago became a verb.

So did Xerox and Thermos. When was the last time you actually used a
product branded “Xerox” or “Thermos”?

Got any evidence there are good FOSS alternatives to even one of them,
let alone all of them?

The simple fact that most people don’t use Adobe products. QED.
