So is this "AutoSave" just a "Early Access" for premier, and after awhile it will be available for us "mortal" on the Free subscribe?
Been waiting for a official "autosave" for a while now!

It's advertised as Premier Only:
Quick save your scene now!

And a small sampling some other tools from Daz. My question is did they make more by commissions on selling all these DAZ Studio add-ons or by placing DAZ Studio in the premier membership. Does the artist have any incentive to update the tool they sold me now that there is a version in the premier version of DAZ Studio?

What? Those either don't have any existing equivalent in DS (premier or otherwise) beyond the basic features that they automate or streamline or they are an alternative/extended way of doing something that DS could already do on their release so it is completely unclear what you are trying to say/ask.
I think what he's expressing is the very real concern that plugins we buy could at any time be bought out and paywalled. At which point those who purchased those plugins would be excluded from getting updates/bug fixes as the maker would likely only be permitted to work on the subscription versions. After all, why would anyone work on an autosave plugin or update their plugin now that DAZ has officially declared their own autosave protocol?
Richard, a specific example, I think, would be MeshGrabber.
TesseractSpace, yes you have expressed my point much better than I did. Thank you.
I dub-thee my official spokesperson. 
To reiterate my point, I mean plugins that are bought by Daz from artists. My concern the artist will longer update the product I bought. ManFriday would be my example ( https://www.daz3d.com/manfriday ).
Even if some of the plugins are added for Premier only, there's still value for the products to exist in the store, purchasable and updated by the developer. Not everyone is using Premier, so the options can still exist to have and support them. In fact, it's a better value for the one-time purchase and staying at Daz + because they aren't locked into needing to pay for the subscription to keep it. These are just extra perks for those who don't have it and happen to be subscribed to Premier. Unless the developer removes it from the store, which based on the dedicated thread's indication on how a good chunk of the userbase won't ever subscribe, means there's a good reason to keep them available and updated.
