The bitching comes from a fundamental mistake: the assumption that DAZ is a firm provinding content for Poser (application) and Poser related market. It used to be so in the past, is is no more now. DAZ is a firm which produces applications and content which aim at the same market as Poser and Poser content, but they are not Poser related. As the rift is recent, there are still areas of interoperability between Poser and DAZ products but this is inevitably going to dwindle to nothing in the future (and probably quite fast). The divorce that many people predicted for years is here and, as in real divorces, is it full of hate, rage, spite and revenges (often not petty).

When one accepts the above stated fact, DAZ behaviour becomes comprensible and, at the same time, becomes crystal clear that requesting interoperation among the two different product lines is pointless. If you like Poser stick to it. If you like DAZ products stick to them. Just don't pretend that they can or will be able to work together seamlessly.

V5 is yet another morph of Genesis so it cannot exhibit anything beyond what has already been shown by other morph packs. Interestingly, people over DAZ forums drool over renders but they are the result of the combination of the base mesh, morph, textures, shaders and rendering engine. If I take Suzanne (Blender mascot, a monkey) export it into V-Ray or Maxwell Render, use some badass shaders and render, the result will be jawdropping but this says nearly nothing about Suzanne itself.
