At this point, I'd say it's not just correct but a moral obligation. Adobe has caused incalculable damage to the softwarescape by buying up smaller but popular companies, shoving their products full of AI crap, and putting them behind a subscription.
Allegorithmic used to have Linux releases for several of their Substance products. They no longer exist. Guess what fucking happened.
