Far too many companies have left customers of DRMed media in the lurch for us to be confident that Adobe and friends won't do the same.

Hell, Adobe did it themselves with the switch from CS3 to CS4 a few years ago!
Don't forget that Amazon themselves screwed customers over big time when they stopped selling eBooks (before the Kindle) and stopped allowing downloads of already purchased eBooks. When people needed to download their PDF again in order to update the DRM, they were unable because Amazon just simply stopped allowing that. So remember, even Amazon is guilty of screwing over customers and causing them to lose access to their legally purchased content.
