Why isn't Adobe Stock included in our Creative Cloud subscription

I just don't understand it. We pay a ton of money EVERY month to have the Adobe Creative Cloud but we have to pay extra for Adobe Stock. This just doesn't make sense to me at all.

Here's what I would suggest - first select the "Free" drop down selection in the top search bar, then enter search term "Christmas", then open up the filter panel on the left side of the screen to further refine your search within the Free collection. Below the Free image you will see other similar assets in "More From this Series"; however those aren't necessarily free. If they don't have the Blue Bar that says "License for Free" they're not part of the Free Collection.

You have access to >1.1 million free assets in the Adobe Stock Free Collection. Access to the larger database of >590 million assets is by subscription only. Think of it like your cable tv subscription. Certain channels are included in the basic package, but if you want access to a wider range of channels you pay more.

The Creative Cloud Abo with all the applciations was advertised with "more than 1 million free stock images etc.". But now I see, that they are for free for everyone? I don't even need the creative cloud abo with ALL applications for that?

The Free Collection, comprising ~1.1 million assets, is truly royalty-free to anyone and requires no paid subscription to access. The complete collection contains >617 million assets and requires a paid Adobe Stock subscription. Adobe Stock subscriptions are separate from other Creative Cloud subscriptions and not included in CC All Apps.

I can understand where you're coming from. However, if I buy a new car and want to include some add-on features, I wouldn't expect to pay the base price. It's the way it is, and it's not likely to change. Granted, a limited number of stock assets would be nice with a subscription, but it's unreasonable to expect an unlimited number of downloads over time. Contributors need to be paid.
