For the record, I believe that the whole "building something as good as Photoshop" is BS, and a sort of retroactive justification of lock-in.
Yes, building something as complicated and locked in as Microsoft Word required a lot of work, and Microsoft has gained considerable money and power over it, but that doesn't mean that Word is necessarily good.
No different from "McDonald's hamburgers are objectively very good."
