What are you going to do to protest their bad decisions if you need an image editing program? What other program is there? That's why they let it happen. They can make bad decisions and you'll still buy their product, because it's ubiquitous. I will say that even with their crap reputation, though, they are at least semi-interested in rebuilding it. Offering CS6 as a subscription wound up being less of a PR black hole than originally predicted. Sure, it's got some annoying stuff with the licensing, but it's better than the licensing stuff they offered for CS5...
