Adobe's sole responsibility is to maximize profit for their
shareholders. CF makes money for Adobe, and they've decided that the
marketing maximizes the profit they make from CF. If they thought they
could make more from CF by spending more on marketing (but less than
they'd recoup from increased CF sales) they'd spend more on marketing.
It's as simple as that. That's how it works in the real world.
