The arguments here sound similar to why Office is still huge.
- While expensive, it's not expensive for the people that use it professionally.
- It's got more features than any single user needs, but each user's got their own subset that they care about that it's a big moat to cross for competitors.
- Network effects. File-format interop with other Office users sells a lot of copies.
- It's "the standard." You don't need a reason to choose Office over its competitors, but you need a reason to choose a competitor over Office.
