No one has to alpha-test DAZ STUDIO if they don't want too. You can happily wait on the sidelines. I certainly don't expect it to do everything immediately. Most importantly, it just tells many of us what type of direction DAZ is going in with it (like runtimes, file formats, etc.) Personally, I'm still waiting for the Alpha-Beta tests of Poser 6 to finish (current test release is known under the CL software code name "Poser 5")
