It certainly does seem a curious business model. The stated aim is to allow people to use Poser in a professional pipeline, so the full version gets you a 10-node license. But I suspect that any professional user would want to render in a high-end app, not in Poser, so the Collada export and plugins are more important and you don't need the 64-bit renderer or network rendering. On the other hand, if you want to render in 64-bit Poser itself across a 10-node network, why do you need the asset transfer facilities?
Seems to be an odd mixture of diametrically-opposed features that would be better served by add-ons - i.e. buy the node licenses if you want them or buy the asset transfers if you need them, etc.
Either way it's of no interest to me personally, since I render in C4D and use the excellent interPoser for asset transfer.
