Ehh even when I was in school I used foss like blender and gimp. I've never had an actual copy of 3dsmax, Maya or photosoup. Been plenty productive with that my entire life.
Sure, but that's far from a universal experience.
Yeah, that's really unfortunate. I think the market would be way more dynamic innovative, and secure if such large packages would be foss. Larger companies can have their own full or part time specialists, and smaller ones can put out bounties etc
