I hear you. I don't know, I used to be one of those 'business customers' for number of years before making Poser content, as I did architectural and engineering Viz.

I never found useful stuff in poserdom, not because it was hard to find, but because things I needed were super specific, noring every day things.... and because often times, when you are on the clock, efficiency was paramount. At the time I was billed at $120 an hour... if it took me 2-3 hours to convert a single piece of content, I made it cost $360, rather then $12 I actually paid for... so what we would do is buy large packages of models made specifically for arch viz... yes they would cost a few hundred to 1000 per package, but i could plop them into the scene in a matter of minutes. On occasion I bought specific items on turbosquid.

It is possible other 3d users have different needs.

Another thing, even with DAZ, merely opening the website and being bombarded with even somewhat sexually suggestive stuff... well, in stuffy engineering offices that would have easily fall into possible sexual harrasement. Last time I dealt with that is around 2006. I don't know how much has changed since then.

Bringing new users would be great, snd I've seen many discussions about it over the years. Often it comes down to needing big bucks. And in last few years, we have game engines and proliferation of 3d for printing. Seems like Poser and DS are losing ground. One part of it being the learning curve to get into the hobby.

It would be interesting to see some brokerage statistics and market research to see results of current efforts to bring in new users, and come up with some strategies... not being privy to that, I can only guesstimate and speculate.... but, jut like vendoring has peculiarities that seem illogical on the surface, i'm sure briging new users has that too. Beyond grassroots efforts, I'm not sure how I would approach that.  If I did, I'd be applying for Steve Cooper's job.
