AD owned and produced a lot of stuff over the years. The various acquisitions you are thinking of in the M&E group are a drop in the ocean that is their arch, viz, CAM/CAE budgets. Alias was bought for studio and the inlet in industrial CAM they missed at the time. Maya in and of itself is probably not scratching 3 or 4% of their revenue and I doubt Soft even made it to an integer number.
Adobe is already a bigger company than AD for the record, and has MORE of a monopoly on its market segments than AD does. They beat AD in revenue and net by a factor of two most years. Again, I don't know what Adobe you guys are thinking of, but the one I know of is nothing to hope for. They make EA sports and AD M&E look positively benign in the VFX geography.
