Evolution is only possible along certain paths, for example, we are not going to evolve to have more than four limbs, eyes at the back of our heads or extra hands.

Similarly, at the cell level, we have just the one photosynthesis process in plants and that isn't going to take an entirely different path to work on different wavelengths. The evolutionary investment is in chlorophyll with a magnesium element at the heart of it. Imaginably you would need an entirety different molecule with some other magic atom in the middles of the usual organic chemistry and that isn't going to happen given the sunk cost in the chlorophyll way of doing things. There is a greater chance that we will get six hands than that happening.
