Why some 3D model products' venders claim that their products don't work in DSZ Studio?

As I know DAZ Studio can work with .obj and .... ,
how come some 3d models' venders claim that their product won't work in DAZ Studio?

Well, there are two options that come to my mind:

First:
The vendors do not use DAZ Studio, so they cannot test it. And therefore they do not know if the item works and it is easier to say it does not, than saying nothing and getting troubles when it really does not.

Second:
It is not the item itself that does not work in DAZ Studio. It is mosty the materials. Poser, for example, has a different shader system than DAZ Studio. So some materials, produced in Poser, do really not work in Studio, or they will look very bad.

Plus dynamics.

Both DS and Poser have cloth dynamics, but neither will work in the other app. SO if an item is a poser dynamic outfit it will not work in DS

Also dynamic hair, can be for Carrara or Poser, but not DS.

Thank you, chohole and XoechZ.

A good example of the second is Powerage's Extravaganza III, over at Renderosity. The dress geometry works fine in Daz Studio 4.6 but the materials look like something dreamed up in the 1960s by a guy on an LSD trip. I used some of Marieah's Fabricator / Ye Olde Clothe / Silkessence shaders on it and it looks fine.
