When Apple ditched Aperture it was a huge fail.

I'm still pissed about that

It nuked so much "fun" of photography and the process for me at the time that I've never fully gotten back into it, especially with how the hardware side has now stagnated and it's devolved down to phones swallowing everything

Many PDF apps do those functions (straighten, optimise).

Ones I've used include Nitro (formally called PdfPen Pro; available in Setapp), Kofax, PDF Expert, and many others.

The reason Acrobat Pro is good, is because it does PDF edits 100% to the PDF spec the best (given it's of course originally an Adobe standard, before becoming open) along with very reliable OCR. Other PDF apps, including Preview, can do editing to various levels but not always as reliably. But the price is ridiculous, making others a necessity unless you live to edit PDFs continually.
Thanks for the list. I downloaded PDF Expert but am not seeing straighten and optimize in the list of tools. It's probably buried in some submenu.

EDIT. Found enhance scan but you need to upgrade for that feature. Fair enough. Beats a monthly subscription.
