I'm sure it relates to the fact that Adobe flagship products (which generate
some 75% of their revenue if I remember the numbers from an Adobe annual
report) are applications for generating and manipulating graphics and images,
where you don't want the color of GUI elements to affect the perception of the
colors of the graphics being worked on. GUI neutrality is necessary for those
kinds of tools; and since it doesn't really matter for text-oriented apps,
consistency won out.
