They can't legally make it work in Poser without DAZ's permission, and DAZ wants money for that permission.

Doesn't matter how many times this is corrected, this misinformation still comes up.

DSON is an open character notation format. SM does not need a license to import it. Just like they don't need a license to import OBJ or FBX.

Genesis has happened in Poser. Genesis and Genesis 2 are both in Poser through the use of the DSON Importer for Poser. Is it ideal? No. Primarily because the Poser API requires you to go in through the Python Interface, which is limited and slow. The biggest slowdowns when dealing with DSON content in Poser? Poser's draw and API.

Could it be better? Sure, if the programmers at SM made the importer internally or offered a better API.
