IMHO Bondware was right to to consolidate poser down to one version.

It makes support alot easier.

In the context the OP's query I do not see how a stripped down $30 dollar version of poser is an attractive alternative to Free a full version of Daz studio with Iray.

The "Click load and render" user can just as easily ignore the advance features of his /her FREE Daz studio.

Conduct a Hoarding Raid on all of the freebie sites for starter content and click load& render from pre-sets without paying $30 USD.

And if, or when, they decide they want more than that , their only addtional cost would be curating more content ,on an as needed basis, from the Daz or Renderosity marketplace.

Not paying Daz again to unlock,Dforce,IRay the Graph editor /Dope sheet the Motion clip mixer,the transfer utility for rigging clothing with three mouse clicks or the FBX export options to send figures to other programs as those features will have been available to them for tinkering all along.

Look at what is happening in the 3D/CG software market in 2020. Features are where the competition is occuring. and the Hobby market is a tough place to try and sell software without very competitive features.?

If You do not go subscription(Like Reallusion has not) then you better have attractive,modern features and cross application export options to other High end Industry programs like RL's unreal4 live bridge/link.?

Or you need to be so far ahead of everyone else in features that the industry pros will keep buying your licenses& support contracts (Like SideFX Houdini)?

Or be a free program with foundation support (Blender 2.8x)?

Or be using a Loss leader business model like Daz where you have a profitable content store to offset your Development costs of your free program.

Tough market?
