Very true. They have bits of the market pretty well cornered. Black Magic have been buying up companies that do video and audio stuff and putting all of it in to Davinci. Davinci used to cost $100,000 but now the starter version is FREE!!! Also they bought audio company fairlight and put that inside Davinci as well. It can already do effects but it's node based not layer based so it's a big switch for after effects users. The plan is to make it so good at doing everything that people will switch to it as a free option and then buy black magic hardware to go with it such as the triple trackball color controller and all the other bits. it does require beefy hardware but the new apple silicon macs seem to be able to run it just fine which is impressive.

Adobe can do it, they have a massive user base. They do not feel the need to move to a "non based" subscription model. And on the other hand there are no many alternatives to some of their products like Illustrator, After effects, etc. Neither free nor paid.
The only thing that I have seen that could get close is the affinity suite that could replace phothop and illustrator. Davinci Resolve is a very nice alternative to primiere too.
