Bugs yes, but it's also free. Most features are strikingly close to the official suite. Again, this was done by one guy with a laptop. If more people participated, or he spent more time and effort on this, and/or the LLMs get even better (which they are), most of those bugs would also be gone. This is a proof of concept which proved the concept.
I think it's also worth touching on the concept of good enough. Most studios have been building software which is FAR past good enough. Most people use a few features in any given app and rarely venture outside of that. Most people never experience any of the recorded bugs. They're just trucking along. I think this Adobe suite clone is good enough for most people.
There are other free and not that buggy alternatives. Features mean nothing it cannot export the result right. It is not a proof of concept, it is a dancing bear - yes, it if fun to see a bear dance, but it dances terribly still. The money spent on tokens to make it useable would buy you lifetime Adobe subscription...
