Not sure why you’d say that, its just a factual statement. Also, I don’t even use Adobe products, and transitioned to GIMP and Shotcut many, many years ago. I work in privacy and data security, so I just happen to be involved with this initiative from the sidelines.
As for your conmetary, you could say the same thing about Signal. But you wouldn’t, because you like them. Just because you don’t like a company doesn’t mean they are being nefarious.
Would I rather a privacy-focused company be doing this? Yes.
Am I pleased with what I see from Adobe (a weekly working group full of identity and open source community members)? Yes.
Does Adobe have a good chance of making this mainstream because of their ecosystem? Also yes.
When you see something better, let me know and I’ll participate there too, vs complaining about those trying.
Please tell me where I can find the source code of Adobe’s creative cloud DRM that has full access to the computer it is installed on and their audits to verify that they aren’t sending my private keys back.
You are comparing an audited, open source program with closed down proprietary system that says “trust me bro, we work with ‘security partners’, no we won’t release the audits”.
Interesting comparison. It’s like comparing a local farming co-op to the agro-industrial complex of Monsanto/beyer and saying “you could say the same about either! Monsanto is at least innovating in the seed space, no no no, ignore how they use it!!”

Here is an entire list of years and years of independent audits

Here, go look yourself to verify that the frontend isn’t sending your encryption key back to the server.
