Before Krita was 'marketed' as a digital painting app, it was described and used as an alternative to GIMP and Photoshop.
At some point (in the 2010s?) there was a decision to refocus on digital painting, I think maybe because of the difficulty of keeping up with the expansive featureset of something like Photoshop or GIMP (and maybe the additional difficulty of still keeping a focused, pleasant UI).
But it's not like the developers removed a bunch of functionality. It's cool to hear that Krita remains capable of handling some heavy duty photo editing use cases.

- pxc 5y agoThanks for the correction. :) And wow, you've been the maintainer for a very long time! Thanks for your work. Imo Krita's design is a model for KDE productivity apps.
