"I like my hobby.  So -- I am not going to treat the people who supply so much pleasure to me as if they were my personal enemies."

The problem is twofold:

First, DAZ has a lot more resources than anybody else in Poserdom.
While a single dedicated person CAN produce a quality mesh (see Apollo or Rikishi), seeing all these precious  resources wasted for "evil" instead of greater "good" is still very dissapointing.
V4 has 69 magnets embedded in her cr2 that massively slow her down and make customizing her mesh almost impossible.
These 69 magnets are (mostly) not there to improve her bending, but to spare content creators from the additional work of creating matching JSM's, thus increasing content output and thus profitability.
What sounds good in theory creates in daily use a mess. Unless you strictly restrain yourself at just using her default, DAZ made morphs and sticking closely to her default shape.

So yes, when "evil= selling more copys" and "good = more functionality", then I'm (now) against "evil" DAZ even though I think they made very good products with their "old" Unimesh series.

Second, DAZ has a defacto monopoly.
Not just the majority of for sale content, but also the majority of free items will all be geared towards V4.
There is hardly an option.
I don't have a problem converting clothes myself, but it still costs time.
And the majority of people would either have to ask someone else to convert stuff for them or use WW which is a nice product, but can give mixed results.
So even those few who do realize that there are things wrong with V4 will try to find workarounds instead of demanding a better product, just because there are no really viable alternatives.

The majority will just swallow DAZ sales pitch like they always did, thinking it's their computer or Posers fault when things don't work correctly. This is no hubris or elitism, but just a fact.
DAZ said two necks and buttock groups were good for us, and people bought V1.
DAZ said that JCM's and injection are a must have, and people bought V3.
Now DAZ says that injection is "ewww" and magnets are mandatory, and guess what people are doing ?, Yep, use V4.

So in some way it IS a bit of an evil conspirancy.
DAZ doesn't want people to think about other concepts.
The merchants who make money with V4 don't want people to think about other concepts.
And even many of the consumers themselves don't want to think about other concepts, because using a DAZ product means having a steady stream of content availble to satisfy their "Poser addiction".

So sometimes it needs a "Unrenderable at any bucket-size" campaign to make a point.
People usually only listen in faerietales to little children that point their fingers at the emperor.
