I can't see that.

Somewhere in the price structure has got to be a reflection of the time
taken to produce the program. That's why some programs cost more than
others. To build in extraneous features, and then support them and continue
to upgrade them through subsequent revisions must take more time than not
to. Ergo, there must be a higher production cost for the program and
therefore ultimately a higher selling price.

The plug-in concept seems to enable Adobe to build a program containing the
features needed for its primary purpose and so price it accordingly. If
some, but not all,  users want additional functions it makes sense that they
should pay for those additional functions as plug ins.

The trick is obviously to decide what should be included and what should
not, and you're never going to get a concensus among users on that.
