Professional will use software that suitable for their workflow.
I’ve seen professionals changing their main software if there was better alternative.
For example, there are wave of professional that are moving from Adobe to Affinity. Illustrator and comic artist are moving from Photoshop to Clip Studio Paint or Procreate. Some video editor will instantly change their software to Davinci Resolve.
Most of the time, they can’t change their software because their client requires file compability, such as Photoshop-native PSD. Sure, other software can open/edit PSD, but they might not fully support all PSD format specification.
That’s why people on open source community focused on open format and open workflow instead. Inkscape use SVG. Krita use ORA. And so on.
I wouldn’t say its their fault tho.
