The folks with the top of the line computers HAVE multiple GPU options already - Octane, iRay, Reality (the new version will require a fairly new computer), so giving the Poser users who don't have top of the line computers is a huge advantage from SM and plays into their philosophy of ensuring backward compatibility.

By doing so, they are inclusive of a base of users the others are leaving behind.

I have a GPU capable video card. The decision doesn't affect me, but I can say I find that an excellent business decision on SM's part.

This makes no damn sense. Everybody can use CPU by default in most render engines. Those that want the added functionality of GPU speed cannot benefit now. How is this an excellent business decision?
