Hello MA,
is 3ds the only fileformat to import models?
3DS is not supported from autodesk anymore. Even the add-in from blender for 3ds is removed.

I do wish they would support FBX, DAE, STL, STEP or even good old OBJ. It's a pain going back to Blender 2.79 (right click vs left click), but you can still export 3DS from there.

i imported this addon to make it work at 2.93.3 . But i have not tested well.

I noticed that addon this morning as well. Also have not tested it.

Gltf would be perfect for ma to use. Its light weight, suports uv, textures, materials and is text based. It also has a lot of support across industries and is standard for a lots of big companies now.

but to answer your question, I would guess that its better/easier/cheaper to go with the devil you know and already have code for than to start from scratch to go thru a proccess to find a replacement. Also who knows if fix will be a thing in 7 years.. haha that said i really don't think 3ds will exist in the next 5 years.
