aren't there open source programs that have caught up to early 2000s era photoshop?
A great secondary point, yes. If you truly believe year 2000 Photoshop was good enough for life, there are plenty of cheap/free options out there today.
Arguably your base desktop/tablet/phone OS editor which is free may already do enough.
