The only reason to not use it is because it costs more than it returns. Either directly, paying licensing fees to Adobe or whomever, or in lost sales from unhappy customers. And it is my believe that the publishers (who survive) will eventually realize that's exactly what is happening, in fact, as recording studios did with MP3s. But it may take a while. Some publishers apparently got a double helping of stupid.
