Textures and metadata are kept in the Runtime folder, even if the product is in DAZ Studio format.
Don't forget that a lot of the older DAZ content (and more than a few not-so-old content) is in Poser format, so it'll be installed into the Runtime folder anyway. It'll all appear in your Content Library tab, even if it doesn't yet have metadata to let it appear in Smart Content.
(How is the metadata conversion/updating getting along, anyway? Been a while since I noticed any new posts about it.)

I've seen a lot of new ones coming in.
