The fragmentation is what scares companies like Adobe away.
How many distros would they need to support to make customers happy? At what point does it become a problem of diminishing returns?
Windows and macOS are pretty big. How many more customers would Adobe get by adding support for: Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, Mint, Arch, Manjaro, MX, Gentoo, Elementary, and so forth? At some point it just gets silly and devolves into Muppet names and other nonsense -- and each one has a smaller amount of users.
Plus, real professionals are willing to pay for software. Open source is frankly not relevant for professional image editing, video editing, music production, CAD, etc.
