Some do, some don't.

Many pros in many fields are already using a tool they're comfortable
with, that they've massaged and tuned, and unlikely to spring for a

It's like musical instruments. If you've spent YEARS tuning a tool to
your satisfaction, you may be unlikely to replace it. This can be
true even if the replacement is superior in many ways.
