Dunno if people consider apple “ethical” but the pixelmator apps on macOS have quickly replaced photoshop and lightroom for most of the light edits I do. Affinity’s apps are solid and cross platform but with a steep learning curve imo, but more comprehensive options. Always resolve on all platforms for video of course.

to answer the opposite of your question i would say it’s unethical to steal things from indie developers and creators; the same way its more wrong to steal from a local corner store than it is to steal from Walmart
