Just some comments...

Readme's for products can say Render with Use Displacement maps checked or Raytracing on or Raytracing on and bounces set a a given number.

Some skin textures come with and without SSS sets.

Some products even come with a screen cap of the render setting used to make the promo images. Never seen one with Gamma On.

I can't remeber a product where the set came with a Gamma Off and a Gramma On texture sets.

Nor can I remember a set where the readme says render with Gamma On or even one that says render with Gamma Off.

So the average end-user sees what the artist provided. Loads and renders with the settings recommended by the artist which did not include the use Gamma.

I have to guess the end-user's thinking is the Poser Artist is supposed to be smarter then me (knows more about Poser), since I paid for their product, hence the lack of use of Gamma Correction.
