Dunno if people consider apple "ethical" but the pixelmator apps on macOS have quickly replaced photoshop and lightroom for most of the light edits I do. Affinity's apps are solid and cross platform but with a steep learning curve imo, but more comprehensive options. Always resolve on all platforms for video of course.

Serif (which owns Affinity) was just bought out by Canva, so it's only a moment of time before they are enshittified unfortunately.
