I used a pirated version of PS too - many years ago. I worked with multimedia, so there was a reason. Most regular people don’t even know how to use PS… They are better of with just a simple tool to do what they need, like cropping adjusting size, levels, colors and and the most basic things.
That was when most users were drawn to computers out of a desire to learn, play and use it. Now, a lot of users are forced to use computers. That doesn’t make them great at it.

Yeah, again, my opinion may be influenced by my age, once upon a time computer users were, on average, skilled enough to do simple stuff in PS.
