At least a fursuit is something someone put real time, energy, and talent into bringing to existence. I have no respect for someone who just runs a piece of software someone else made to change how they look. It’s Instagram filters but dumber.
those models aren’t free. nor are they magic. to get a good one you need to commission somebody or have the extensive knowledge required to create one yourself

so yeah similar to a fursuit in that regard
Many (most?) furries don’t make their own fursuits.
Furries also do not make their own fursuits.
They pay +1000€ for someone else to change how they look. It’s like clothing & make-up but “dumber”.
Some of them are coding their own.
Those few get some credit, but I doubt that’s the norm.
