That's only true if no non-Adobe apps can open Adobe's .psd file format and you've also not bothered to save works as other-than-psd's.
Presently, that's false on just the first part alone without the second, as I'm aware of at least four (4) non-Adobe Apps which open .psd files, namely GIMP, Darktable, Luminar, and MacOS's Preview.
