Catalina kills various minor applications. Solution? Advice?

Most notably in the Adobe Application Manager folder in the Utilities sub-folder are quite a number of now unusable applications, like AAMLauncherUtil.app and Adobe Application Manager.app in the core sub-folder, Setup.app in the D6 sub-folder and again in the DECore and DWA folders, the AAM Registration Notifier.app in the LWA folder and so on. The main applications like Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator still work, but it seems some background process or uninstaller is not going to work. All of these were recently updated as of June 4, 2019, so it doesn't look like old stuff from years ago. I hope some programmer will get the call to update these. Anybody else see this same problem?

    For Photoshop 20.0.6 and higher, these are the known issues with Catalina.

    For older / legacy software versions, DO NOT UPGRADE to Catalina. Keep your older OS and stay there.
