I don't know. I have no insight to their practices, and there may be a logic to it. And it may be that any further development of the gene thing is now limited to adding more poly's, the opposite of their intent to begin with. Bullet physics added to the Poser physics should give some interesting things to play with, but I'm not that far into it yet. Weight mapping will probably remain the domain of a few that develop the talent and skills to do it. THe fitting room is great, yeah, a little learning curve there, not not too bad and the morph brush is a real gift. When Gene first came out,I toyed with it for a while, but without the morph packs, not a lot can be done with it and I didn't see where it would be any easier than using the figures I already have.
But with any new concept, there is a limit how far it can be pushed before it runs into the ability to be pushed further, some don't have a lot of room at inception. Where V4 has been pushed far beyond the designers wildest dream already, it's possible Genesis was almost there when it was released.
With Roxie and Rex, I have a couple of new toys to play with, and so far, I'm very impressed. There are the tools available, there is a lot that can be done with them without the need for anything else. I'm enjoying the new toys and I'm not going to worry about the Gene thing, I have no need for it.
