It may seem like contempt, but I think they're just clueless. They have a lot of products that have been mature for a long time, so they have little to offer users to justify upgrading.
They have a lot of employees with stale skill sets and it's not a company where someone with top skills would want to work. I overheard a conversation in a restaurant in which an Adobe employee was talking about how it was a great place to be while she figured out what to do next in her career because they were paying her $150K and she didn't really have to do anything. Maybe they're not even clueless. In 2013, per SEC filings, Adobe insiders sold 9 million shares and bought 5,000.

Very disappointing.
