What's interesting here is that "Photoshop era" is ending – according to Yahoo – not because users are turning away. It's because *investors* are.
The "market" for software and services is a side-show. Only the stock market matters.

Tech monopolists like Adobe have nowhere to go to bring in more users, to make the line go up. Their market is all but saturated. But the line must go up, otherwise investors are going to leave.
Hence the incessant, insufferable AI hype. It's marketing for investors. The hype itself is the product, the investors are the market:
