I want to switch to Linux but there are a few major hurdles.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

literally, no one is saying it's not possible to use gimp as a professional. People are saying not all professionals can use gimp.
which to me says "Yes, you could do this profession in Gimp and Inkscape but most places in this industry won't allow it." This is likely what they meant. Golden standards don't mean that something else can't be used. It means that if you try to use them you'll be going against the desires of your whole team.
Yeah, enjoy your strawman arguments.
