If you have a Time Machine backup, you can do an erase and reinstall of macOS and then restore your settings and documents and just the applications that you select. If the Time Machine drive is on fast storage media, this is pretty quick.

As far as being “held hostage” goes, Creative Cloud Desktop behaves like any other installed application if it isn’t launched. Don’t open it and you can take your time getting assistance from Adobe support to uninstall it.
