^ I feel like it's because a UTAU's voice can overall be clearer than a Vocaloid's. I know  that this is especially true on the Engloid side. You also get the fact that since cv's are manually edited together, every consanent tends to be emphasized as with Vocaloid, there are generally two versions of consanents to make it sound more natural. There's also the fact that since UTAU is generally clearer, it's a lot harder to make it muffled. And this is a pet peeve of mine, but could very well be a reason why people like English UTAU voicebanks. Some UTAU's samples have very emphasized particularly stuff like @r, which makes it sound unnatural, but in turn really puts it out there. And then there's the last reason of those people don't really listen to Engloids (other than the Japanese ones of course), and/or have really bad experiences with "true" Engloids.
