There are plenty of artists who use pirated software to create shit but haven't got into trouble, the trick is to block the network requests and strip the Metadata.
And MS/Adobe would not go for a small patreon artist because they know that if they go too far, people will be pushed towards their competitors, which they don't want since their business model hinges on being the most widely used software and thus not allowing any competition to grow.
There is a theoretical possibility, but you have to be practical. Its upto an individual to decide.
