So, why cycles rather than iRay or another render engine? Is it because people know cycles because they use blender to model ... being free. Or is it because Poser developed Superfly based on cycles?

It's possibly because of the very thing being discussed above. The decision to have a 'unified material' could be one of the things that required a renderer that allowed chopping and changing as needed. Iray in contrast is only licensed as a sealed box, the internals of the renderer remain completely under nVidia's control.
