Admittedly tangential but > I’m just another failed bank card to them, draining their systems. Well, you're not draining Adobe. You're running Photoshop locally, so you aren't costing them any bandwidth, unlike most of those other services. That rental model for software you run locally is even worse than most proprietary models. If Adobe weren't effectively a monopoly, I'd hope people would reject this nonsense.
