Figma took 10 years to get to this point. Even if someone else can get there in 5 years, as an executive at Adobe, do you care?
And the danger to Adobe wasn't Figma in its current state, it was Figma taking its performant web stack and starting to attack features in Photoshop.
This is the kind of deal which encapsulates perfectly what is wrong with the state of modern capitalism. This deal should be blocked by the FTC and Adobe should be forced to deal with a plucky, upstart competitor who could displace them.
