The Licensing component is in the cloud, not the software. The "outage" was by-passable by dropping your internet connection when you opened the app(s). (Not ideal, but still a decent work-around). What has "online security" got to do with Desktop publishing and photo editing (neither of which occur online)? What are the reasons to intensely dislike them for? There is not even a decent competitor to Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign (Pixelmator and Sketch are both great, but not anywhere near the breadth of Adobe's products... and that still leaves InDesign)... So if you 'intensely dislike' them and think they are so inadequate, then surely you can disrupt them fairly easily, no?
