How many distros would they need to support to make customers happy? At what point does it become a problem of diminishing returns?
Windows and macOS are pretty big. How many more customers would Adobe get by adding support for: Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, Mint, Arch, Manjaro, MX, Gentoo, Elementary, and so forth?
