As I pointed out in another post, SOME people, mostly those who don't even currently, or ever, use Poser want some major changes in Poser. Genesis native in Poser, Lighting changes, Poser for free, even adding Iray. If it were that easy, I believe Smith Micro would have already have done it. If it were easy and cheap, I believe Smith Micro would have already have done it. But there's one major roadblock, the Poser base code. As we've been told over the past few years, adding or changing things to Poser would require a massive rewrite of the Poser code from the ground up. Yet this information is either ignored or just not noticed, over and over and over.

Even so, I still believe that Bondware/Renderosity's purchase of Poser will be for the best of the overall content market and the app itself.

You may be right. Poser's code may just be so old or written in a way that a good working plugin of a Daz figure import couldn't be possible. But it never hurts to ask ;). By the same token, some people might want to see a Character Creator figure importer. Or an Unreal Engine exporter. Blender Exporter. The possibilities are there, one just needs to ask.
