Well for one thing, traditionally dynamic clothing has sold far worse than anything made conforming. I was minorly involved with one product that was made "Hybird" with the skirt dynamic and the upper aprt conforming. It sold far fewer units than a similar conforming product, and on the rare occation I saw it rendered the users never much bothered to run it thru the cloth room and have the skirt fitted to the pose. Most of the time the skirt was left in the "as-loaded" teepee shape, on at least one occation the skirt was left as loaded ant the legs pose sticking thru the skirt. A tutorial explaining the use of dynamics and hybrid clothing was inclued with the product.
I admit from watching the forums there seems to be more interest in dynamics but it still form a small audience. The majority of the buying public still seems to want conforming over dynamic as they are "easier" to use, requiring less effort if, by the same token, giving a less satisfying result.
This is all my opinion, certainly, but it;s based on observation of both the marketplace and the forums. If I'm wrong in my conclusions I would love to hear about it!
