I agree that Affinity deserves mention here, since they are another player. Just slightly different than the other two and meeting a need in a variation of the theme. I do some graphic design and photo editing, but not enough to justify the large recurring price of Adobe products, so I went with Affinity and I've loved it. I'm not a profession artist, so I'd only ever really heard of Adobe, but went looking for something else simply because of cost.
EDIT: I think the main reason they don't mention Affinity is because Affinity capitalized on Adobe's price increase; the price increase is mentioned as a positive for Adobe's stock price in the article, though a lot of customers dislike it. It is an interesting case of Figma and Canva having better functionality for certain segments, and Affinity having better price to capabilities ratio for other segments. When Adobe was more of the only game in town, it was fine, but now others are carving into the space and competing on variations, providing better alternatives to different needs or prices.
