this is what it means to be a monopoly.
Adobe may not be one by the legal definition, but it certainly is a monopolistic suit of products, as their "customer" does not have a way to switch, regardless of other competing software.
I personally think that the current legal idea of a monopoly is too narrow. I say the definition should be focused on the customer's cost of switching - and if it's higher than some reasonable threshold, the provider of said service/product must be considered a monopoly.
