That's the whole point and you can't use the price as an excuse. Of course the flaws take away it's utility.
I agree with most of the flaws that you have identified but I also agree with the fact that those flaws don't take away the utility of their products for many when the price is so low. They don't have a huge customer base but it is substantial enough to probably attract tens or hundreds of thousands of users. And from Skylum's point of view, it might be working but that doesn't excuse the fact that they're taking peoples' money for software which is basically rubbish. Target those that can't be bothered or don't know any better. Some people don't want to spend time editing and learning their software and some don't. The question is "Do end users who want simple quick editing really care?" I think that some do and some don't. I think that once they have a product that has the modularity that facilitates functional area updates that they will probably be able to offer that type of continuity but that is not their current model. I am not surprised by this and I admit that here we tend to value continuity more than they do. That's why they keep changing what they are doing so frequently. I also think that one of the major differences in their thinking is that the life of an image editor is short. That just sounds like a huge excuse for Skylum's ineptitude. They are not us and that is something that we need to understand.
They sell a lot of their software to us but they have a different mindset as to what their priorities should be. Skylum exists in a different world than you and I do. However, it is simple to use and it's fairly fast. I wouldn't count on them with any kind of monitor. In fact if you are trying to work with it without a calibrated monitor I would not count on its results. Which counts out about threequarters probably more, of those using this site then.
If you are trying to utilize and have success with other color spaces then Luminar probably isn't for you. Many people will use Skylum to quickly convert event raw files for rapid turnaround. Not everyone needs color management outside of the crude but practical sRGB.
