Saying that Poser users are by definition "not artists" because they didn't create the meshes & textures themselves, they simply rendered them is like saying that photographers are by definition "not artists" because they didn't create their subject matter, they just took a picture of it. Everybody has a camera, but there is a range of skill, and some people are very good. Poser is the same way.

Or to further the analogy to  animation: no movie director makes all the props, costumes & sets themselves, but there can still be artistry in their work. Like any medium, it's not the medium, it's how you use it.
