Adobe Stock Vector Text Effect & Non-Existent Fonts

Question

I've fallen in love with finding awesome editble vector text effects and changing them up in illustrator (I'm a serious novice). We pay a monthly fee for stock so each time I find something we like, I license it. Lately I license something and the font doesn't exist. Of course I can replace the font if I'd like, but usually the reason I'm attracted and licensing the effect is the overall look and feel, including the font. I end up spending tons of time trying to find a similar font. Why would these text effects exist and essentially cost money if the fonts are actually even adobe. Any help is appreciated.

Capture 1 is what I'm licensing from stock, capture 2 is what I end up with.

These files are provided by people who upload them. Keeping the effects live and editable is acutally quite a new feature. When you open the file, Illustrator should tell you which font is missing.

Most of the time it should be either an Adobe Font or a free font that you can search on dafont.com or fontsquirrel.com or maybe Google fonts.

Most font licenses don't include redistributing.
