My posts have been about give those people that make those products a voice so that poser users can get the content they need. Playing the blame game and telling people erroneously that they "have an ax to grind" is a distraction from helping vendors get the resources they need to produce Poser content.

It's really that simple.

Exactly. In the end, this hobby depends upon a huge amount of pre-made content to survive, and rather than being Poser users having an "open, public conversation about what they'd like to see for new Poser content", this thread is about how frustrated some Poser users are about the small amount of Poser compatible product that's being made compared to the massive volumes of new items being produced for DAZ. It's hardly the first thread on this subject and I doubt it will be the last, but the fact that threads like this exist at all points to the fact that there IS a problem. And the core of that problem is that while Smith Micro has been happy to take everyone's money for a new version of Poser every other year, they've essentially abandoned product support for just about everything else related to Poser to the hands of independent PAs and second party content stores. Like it or not, those PAs and stores are already deciding the future of Poser, so if PAs are moving to DS or cutting back on production, then knowing why those decisions are being made in the manner that they are is the best chance there is for effecting a positive change.
