It is a niche tool that does one thing very well. Because it is specialized software, the price point (usually around $20–$40 depending on current promotions) can feel steep to the casual user who only needs to edit one or two photos. This friction between "I need it now" and "I don't want to pay for it" drives the search for serial keys.
