No Replicating Photoshop with 1:1 native PSD/PSB round-trip compatibility, full adjustment/filter stacks, and complex typography engines requires massive specialized graphic engineering.
What it would actually take: A full Photoshop clone requires custom GPU-accelerated rendering pipelines (Vulkan/Metal/DirectX/WebGL), parsing and serializing undocumented Adobe PSD/PSB specifications, and implementing complex non-destructive raster engines (blend modes, Blend If algorithms, 32-bit floating point color pipelines). It also requires integrating complex-script font shaping engines (HarfBuzz), raw camera development pipelines (libraw), and lens distortion databases (Lensfun). This represents decades of specialized computer graphics and software engineering.
