It's not about catering to a small minority, it's pretty clear that DS is or is becoming the market leader.

It might be the market leader in a market SM doesn't bother to compete in.

Third party content sales are important to you. It's important to DAZ. It's not important to SM.

I think the issue here is that SM and DAZ are not really in the same market at all. And what is being seen by many as stubbornness or idiocy or vindictiveness is just business. It might be inconvenient for users like you or me, but that doesn't mean either company is not doing what's smart for them.

So you're suggesting that Poser could be doing fine because it may be capitalising to a hidden market of unknown size that there is no real way of knowing actually exists beyond Jimmy Kimmel and RWBY, right? Guess I will need to take your word for it.

Just like we have to take your word for the fact that your products are successful. After all, a DAZ vendor who has enough time to spend all night in a POSER forum discussing what POSER is doing must have lots of time on his hands, so no product in development and no need for customer support and marketing.
