This reads like someone who just isn’t willing to learn whatever new workflow the software requires. If that’s the issue, then that person will never leave their enshittified walled gardens. There is no workflow that matches or imitates the one you learned, it’s probably copyrighted, you’re best bet is to jump ship and learn a new paradigm.
Also, have yet to run into an alternative that’s actively recommended which doesn’t at least have a windows build. LibreOffice, Krita, Blender, Darktable, GIMP, Audacity, Inkscape, and Openshot - the most common recs as alternatives to apps, all have windows as an option.
But to be fair, what’s stopping people from making freeware Adobe Suite alternatives that have the same familiar work flow? If we can do it with Microsoft Office, why not Adobe? Until someone does that, I’m still going to continue pirating Photoshop and Premiere.
I asked the same question about a decade back. The answer I got was that it was attempted in the past, and any time it was done the project got a cease and desist. Based on that explanation, it’s much simpler for devs to build a workflow with no resemblence and a avoid legal trouble altogether.

i found Krita to not really work well for me and my drawing tablet. i went with MediBang instead, and it’s been going well
