    Canva and Figma are 90% of the reason

    How long before Adobe buys them… they did it macromedia and all their other competitors. Anti-trust laws, if they were working, would have shut down Abobe decades ago.

          IIRC it was the British regulator that blocked it. The EU and eventually US ones issued similar statements following the UK block and then the deal was abandoned

      They tried to buy Figma, but getting past the regulators was too hard. It was clearly a play to monopolize UX design just like the did with graphic design.
