Cracked Adobe apps or nah?

Adobe relies on cracked software.
If a newbie/student starts creating using Adobe software, at some point, they'll reach a level of proficiency where they can sell their work.
In order to sell said work however, a geniune Adobe license is required. That's why they don't really mind if people pirate their software.
At the end of the day, a professional user will at some point be forced to use a geniune license (whether personal or given by an organization), whereas the average joe won't do much.
