Really? Anyone, in all cases of professional work (whatever that means)
would automatically be foolish to use something that's free over paying
hundreds of dollars for something that accomplishes about 95% of the same
tasks?
I don't think I've heard a more concise description of "well-trained
American consumer" in my life.

For important work people need 100% of a task done to get paid. Mostly that
means using the standard software for that industry.
A high proportion of people don't need all the features most high end apps
have, or could use a much older version (which can be found cheaply or free)
to get the job done for personal tasks.
