Is it not still blocked, or at least under heavy scrutiny? I would also dread Figma being folded into Adobe's bloated ecosystem. Thank god for penpot as mentioned in another comment as I would need an alternative if Figma does indeed get taken over by Adobe.

I bet Adobe would like to back out of the deal too, they paid an extreme premium before tech took a general nosedive. I doubt Figma is worth $20 billion in todays climate.

They don't, they already killed their Adobe Xd[0]. Even if it was still around, it was in a different league.

So they very much betting on the deal, they don't want to be out of the UI/UX space entirely.

Maybe not on its own, but it is worth that much to Adobe because it threatens their core business.
