That’s not at all true of the Adobe stuff. The real work in Photoshop or Illustrator still happens on the Mac.

From Adobe's perspective, it offers a lot of benefits: - they don't have maintain build farms or pay a CDN to host GBs of binaries of native installers (for different OSes); - users will always be on the latest (read: most secure) version since there is nothing to install or nag the user to check for updates/apply security patches; - browser-dependence implies near-persistent Internet access, making license management/enforcement a whole lot easier; - they can upsell you on cloud storage so that all your assets are available from any web browser.
