Anecdote: one thing my current partner of multiple years liked on my dating app profile was that I hid the face of my friends on my pictures with big bell peppers. She didn't know it came from Gimp of course, but I showed her later and we've been together since.
I don't know about actually retouching photos, but I don't know any digital artists that have used Photoshop in a long, long time! There are a TON of alternatives for art.
Maybe they're sending you photoshop files because that's the 'industry standard', but that doesn't necessarily mean they're actually working in photoshop. Lots of other editors are able to read and save photoshop files.
I draw cartoon porn mostly but the SFW comic artists I know all abandoned Photoshop, too. I wonder if Loish still does? She was huge on deviant art back in the day.

I've been pushing everyone else to photopea.com which is photoshop sans-ai in the browser.
