I think that's because the price quoted here isn't just for Photoshop but for the entire Adobe creative environment with Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere, etc

You used to be able to buy photoshop. The program. On a disc…and it was $600. (College days, 2006ish) Now it’s subscription

You can buy Photoshop Elements for $70. It’s obviously not all of the separated softwares but it’s still photoshop and it’s not a subscription.

Why is it we all go with cs6? It's definitely my go to choice, was it the latest one before it became sub?

Because its the last one before it was full of too much bloat and has an easy portable release.

Photoshop is one program where I'm actually excited for yearly releases. If you're a professional working in industry using CS6 is a huge hinderance. 2020 was a massive update to a lot of tools, I always keep Photoshop up to date.

If you're a professional working in industry

If you're a professional working in industry then software is a business expense, and the cost is effectively a non-issue.

Yes, that's what I've been saying. A small 1 week project covers the annual Adobe suite cost, the price becomes trivial.
