To me this just goes to show how DAZ views Bryce and it's users. They just see the software as a hobbyist software, which is something of a sin. I don't expect them to develop it any further and they are only interested in making $$$. I for one have given up with DAZ altogether.
They don't seem to be interested in the hardcore users, people who could help further it's development and bring it into direct competition with Vue. They should be championing the great artists like you Dave, and the fact that they have the audacity to say your work is not good enough is a smack in the teeth to all of us. They would all be much happier over there if everybody was lazy and just paid for props and scenes.
I know you probably earn a good few $ from them, but if it was me I'd be tempted to boycott them. I mean you don't need to bother with them, as there are plenty of people willing to pay good money for your artwork. Within the realms of space art you truly are one of the leaders in the field.
