That is part wishful thinking and part misunderstanding the market. These are "industry standards" and you are thus completely locked in. Thus, when Adobe switched to their subscription model, what people wanted was a software that is 100% compatible and looks and functions identically, but without the bullshit. Surprise that does not exist because only Adobe can legally offer that.


All Adobe did was lock out small players who have found alternatives. Blender comes to mind. Even big studios have blender somewhere in their workflow. Its a marvel.
