What, effectively, is the difference between the last few T-72 variants and the last few T-90 variants? Particularly, what are the quantitative differences between a T-72B3M, and a T-90MS? Are there any? It just seems odd that both platforms are actively being developed upon as if they're two separate vehicles.

T-90SM have better base armor than T-72B3
T-72B3 are just Soviet built T-72B refitted with new ERA, engine and electronic. they have the same base armor

also, the T-72B3M development have stopped
the new T-72B3 that was showed in the V day Parade is just T-72B3, not T-72B3M

Thank you, anon. I heard a rumor that the T-90 was becoming more India's show than anything, and that Russia wanted a system more designed around their specifications, or was that pulled directly from some anon's ass?

it is
Russian T-90A was design based on India T-90S
but India T-90S have lest feature than Russian T-90A
other country T-90S like Azerbaijan or Algérie maintain all the T-90A feature

That is largely true.
Russia is focusing on upgrading its T-72B fleet to T-72B3 as a cost effective alternative to T-90 and getting T-14 into production.
At this point T-90 development is mostly for export.

T-90 and T-72 chassis are pretty close
so any development on the T-90 can be apply to the T-72
UVZ are persuading Russian MOD to upgrade their 2006 producion T-90A to the T-90M standard

Not much.
The T-72B3M is actually more capable than the latest T-90A.
