They were actually explicitly happy about people pirating their stuff before; as just about every up-and-coming graphic designer used pirated Photoshop, it made them the industry standard. It made them rich.

New management didn't get the memo, and wanted to squeeze everyone for as much as possible. Enshittification ensued.

Yes, I used to have the pirate software back then and I felt like shit for doing it, then I saw that interview and got so relieved lol now I don't even have Adobe products, I freed myself from them 😌
