Sure, easy with hindsight. But they did take that option and now refuse to pay the price. They are forcing paying the price on their users now. They got additional benefit at the time, if I remember correctly: Adobe suite was 32-bit + Carbon; so having 32-bit x86 ABI allowed to them and to Adobe to have the suite running natively on the new CPUs, buying Adobe time to port to 64-bit and Cocoa, and axe Carbon without waiting to axe Intel entirely. Given the benefits they got, they should be called for not wanting to pay the price.
