I wouldn't be suprised if sometime in the past Apple and Adobe didn't collude to ensure Apple was the only Unix platform that could be considered a creative-workstation. Adobe and Apple have a long partnered history - don't let the Flash fiasco divert you from their storied history. Purely speculative tinfoil theory though. However, I wouldn't be suprised if some Adobe dev's had internal Linux ports that they don't share with the public. With the majority of the core app being written in C/C++ and them porting some UI elements to HTML, I can't imagine that much of a barrier to offer a Linux equivalent. The "market share" argument shouldn't be an accepted reason for them to ignore the platform - although I could see how a tunnel-visioned management team could use it in their narrative. I know too many devs who would gladly ditch their MBP, or instead install a Linux distro on it, if Adobe's product line was available for Linux. Luckily, there's tools for devs today if you just need to inspect/export design like http://avocode.com http://avocode.com.
