The bottom line is who cares if it is art or not? As long as it is fun. Poor Vincent Van Gogh did not sell much when he was alive and he died miserable and in poverty. Look what his paintings sell for now. Very sad. Millions for a painting don't do you much good if you are dead. Also, the merchants would be out of business if nobody bought their "canned scenes, clothes, etc." Poser is a hobby for me just like riding my horse and tinkering with computers. It would be nice if I could make some money at it, but I don't have the energy, LOL! I think they are talking about using different 3D apps for commercials and movies. Most of us here, unless you are a merchant, are using Poser for fun. I knew a man who repaired and sold antique clocks at shows. I asked him why he did not open an antique clock/repair shop. His answer was "If I did that it would be work, and it wouldn't be fun anymore".  The programs you use depend on what you are planning on doing with the output of that program.
