I find it hard to believe that Adobe's product managers have ever
spent much time talking with technical writers and documentation
managers about our needs.

Help 2 is a requirement in certain development environments, I forget
which (Visual Studio .NET?), but a company my old employer acquired
had had to move some of their docs to it.

Same goes for Eclipse help. I switched my department from WebWorks to
MIF2Go because it supported Eclipse.

Personally I disagree and feel it's like swatting a gnat using a bazooka, but my guess is that Adobe simply listened to what users are using and went with that as it seemed to offer what the multitudes are crying for.
