Use GIMP instead cloud editors where spying is a concern

No matter what I think of Google and Adobe, if the timing of when I knock them is everytime they decide to support Linux, what example is set for OTHER companies deciding to support or not support Linux, maybe even to open or not open their code in the process?

On the other hand, I would not publicly trash anyone for deciding to support some form of Linux, even if my security requirements or non-use of money for software forbid use of their products. I don't play any paid games, but you will never hear me condemn Steam for deciding to make themselves available to Linux users, given the danger not only to them but to so many others if MS had decided to lock applications to a Windows store in a future version of that OS.

Big photography teams probably continue to work with photoshop because that's a very good software for their very peculiar needs. They aren't the one running Krita or GIMP. But they aren't the ones who'll run a cloud version of photoshop either.
On the other hand, you have all the amateurs, who use photoshop (probably pirate it) for very simple tasks, simply because that's what the pros are using and because they can easily find tutorials on-line. They do very simple task (like removing red eyes from last vacations' photos), some of which are so simple that they could have been done in MS Paint or some are even being done automatically in some camera's firmware (some camera have post-process anti red eye in addition to the classical pre-flash).
These guys are the target of such version. It in these market that Krita, GIMP and even Paint.NET are eating Photoshop's lunch. Specially with the more recent efforts against software piracy, users wanting to avoid problems and go legit face the choice of either shelling out the price for Photoshop, or keep paying nothing by switching to software that actually costs nothing.
That's the target audience for a cheap cloud streamed photoshop. The "vacation" guy could pay his/her subscription only in the time following the return from vacations and not the rest of the year.
Whereas, in addition, a Photoshop subscription may also come handy for the big photography company, so some artist could quickly check something on a chromebook while travelling before getting back at their workstation/workhorse big laptop. Specially if a couple of such subscription come packaged together with the enterprise-wide contract for photoshop. That could be a nice side effect. But still I suspect that the main target audience is the random casual user, with the goal being having these users still pay some money to adobe just to remove red eyes instead of going for cheaper (free) alternatives.
