Wanna slay Vicky 4? Here's what that hypothetical new figure has to do:

• have a means to transfer existing Vicky 4 morphs, poses, and UV Mapping to VickyKiller, seamlessly.

• have a means to convert all the V4 poses so VickyKiller can use them.

• have a means to convert V4 clothing so that VickyKiller can wear them as perfectly as possible. Oh, and those dynamic clothing morphs had better survive the transition as well.

• while not as vital because workarounds are fairly easy, the hair has to fit as well.

If you expect all that, then what's the damned point? Just stick with V4.

Plus, most of that is beyond the means/abilities and legalities of most content artists. Content artists are not coders. So without the tech being built directly into Poser, or a 3rd party script, it would flat out be illegal for content artists to try doing that. The only ones that can make a figure compatible with V4 content are Daz.

A lot of that old content would - and does - look like crap on a modern figure anyway. The CG equivalent of wearing your older siblings old hand-me-downs - a bit short in the arms and legs and don't quite fit.

And most figures are not built with the intention of being the end-all for their creator, financially. They're intended to be a new platform for new, better content, not a recycle bin.
