I thought Topaz is bought by Adobe? or am I wrong?

They have been, though Topaz continues as a standalone operation while still offering their usual suite of apps. Adobe has already been absorbing some Topaz technology into their own apps, but as a user on the Topaz forum recently stated, "Topaz functions are already showing up in Photoshop (Gigapixel) and Firefly (video upscaling). Stand alone Topaz products are much more sophisticated."
I've attached a few screenshots of the "Topaz experience" within Photoshop (Denoise, Sharpen and Upscale options) and it's very minimalistic compared to the usual Topaz UI with the many more options.

Nope, not at all.
See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlmQJO03tTY especially if you're and Adobe user (subscriber). Or go directly to 3:45 in the video.
Pretty clear to me what I should (and will) subscribe to.

Thanks Andrew, I'll take a longer look at this video soon. I actually watched this guy the other day talk about Artcraft apps and he got some things wrong, FWIW.
