Photoshop is still a destructive editor, it just has layers to separate what you're destroying. Smart objects are the non-destructive way to do it in Photoshop, but you can't really do a lot with them. A better example of a non-destructive photo editor would be Affinity Photo [0], which by design everything operates similar to a Photoshop smart object.

And let's not forget that Photoshop also includes Camera Raw which is totally non-destructive and saves all changes in XMP (which is interchangeable with Lightroom).
