Perhaps this applies in the USA.
Most of the world isn't in the USA.
though the person he's responding to is in the USA.
And many/most businesses need more than one license. For most of Adobe's target market, $2,500.00 would be dabbling.
Is that for Creative Cloud?
Do you have a Smart TV?
The EULA terms and conditions tell you that if you connect it to the internet and your wifi, they will have the right to look at and use the info and data on ANY device that is also connected over the same network - any device!!!
p.s. you must connect it to your network in order to use it, or it won't work.
And people see me a weird because I quit TV decades ago.

I just read my EULA (Samsung smart TV) and there is no mention of any of this. Do you have a source? I’m no lawyer but the Samsung EULA is pretty clear: If you use a Samsung TV (with a remote, keyboard or microphone to control the TV) they keep all that info and your watching habits and use it as if you were browsing the internet on your computer, which makes sense because TVs are basically computers on the internet now and can feed you custom advertisements and sell your watching habits to others. This I expect.
What it does not say is that they will somehow jailbreak your phone, computer, Alexa, smartwatch, etc on the same network and steal that info. That’s the part of your post that I’m interested in learning more about. Because it sounds unlikely and also illegal.
There is no need for an opt-out of something that isn’t happening like made-up claims of TVs p0wning your network and other devices.
Secondly, yes, manufacturers that collect your viewing data do allow you to opt-out.
You mean cable TV
No, ALL TV. And, as of 15 years ago or so, ALL movies. And no streaming stuff. I do watch the occasional “How to Fix It” video on YouTube when I’m attempting to work on something, but other than that, nope. Sports? I’ve never in my life watch ANY sports: Super Bowl, World Series, Olympics, etc. Life is too short to spend time watching. I’d rather be doing. Plus, the average American watches something like 3-5 hours a day and consumes over 500 hours of commercial in a year. Why would I subject myself to that?
I use Photoshop daily, either for work or learning new features. The subscription model suits me just fine, and I'm happy to be always up-to-date without having to pay $$$ every other year for a major update. What bugs me more is that Apple and Adobe seem to advance just enough to force me to buy either software or a hardware updates all the time
I love Adobe, one of my old ex-friends was Product Manager for Illustrator.
But the struggle is real for users.
I have an old laptop from work where my subscription is “Not Applicable” and I simply cannot open PDF files on it because it once had a full subscription applied to it (until I got my new laptop).
I just don’t use that old laptop much, except to access some old files.
But the “hard to cancel” model runs deep with Adobe. It just wasn’t implemented. At all.
