Adobe are in the position to do for Linux what Apple did for BSD/Darwin.
Adobe OS. Take the Linux kernel, systemd and command line tools. Put a great gui on top. With Creative Suite and Open Office. Steam for games. Be prescriptive with the hardware re drivers. No crapware/bloatware (though Adobe have been guilty of this). Give developers the ability to make money with apps/content via purchase, subscription or ads.

They probably can't even rationalize porting creative suite to the Linux desktop, let alone develop a partial OS around it. They're making a crapload of money on operating systems they don't own and their customers have no incentive in switching from.
