I wouldn't exactly call it proprietary sabotage. The same type of thing is true for graphics applications. Or, even office applications, for that matter.

I see your point, but I still cannot help but think it's all just a blatant cash-grab by DAZ: invent a character and roll out a ton of proprietary content, then when sales slow, invent a new character with all their own proprietary content, and repeat. It's just so exhausting [and expensive] to be shamelessly manipulated by this company time and again.

You forget one thing. DAZ is primarily a content company that gives their app away for free. The only other way they can make money is to start charging for DAZ Studio.
