From my understanding, realistic voices with more human-like traits instead of characteristic traits don't tend to stand out enough, so are "boring" due to the lack of distinction. Vocaloids can have both realistic human-like features and characteristic personnelity (Ia is a example, as noted). However, honestly? I think the attitude is changin anyway, I mean good grief look at the OS fandom alone. In the last few years English vocaloids have slowly had a change of opinion on them. As stupid as it is, I DO remember this coming up though when I first lurked in late 2009 about how English vocaloids went for more realistic approaches verus Japanese ones, which at the time consisted of most the latter. Either way, I guess this was just what people were used to and now the tides are turning its becoming less true. :-/

I don't think it was established at all that she was the most realistic... Don't recall that but then again, with this fandom, several people can have completely different experiences altogether.

Voiceroid's major fault is monotone, they don't vary their speech at all. IF you listen to them too much it because repeatitive and "boring", like any real human being does (ever had a boring mono toned lecturer or teacher/tutor?). Recent ones have been better since tone can be varied more, but the older ones are just.... Also, the more you listen to them, the more you hear the realism fade, but essentially... I think Vocaloid can sound more realistic in the long run, but in the short, Voiceroid does leave you thinking its the more realistic. It certainly sounds more natural and it does help. Yukari's pretty lucky to be able to use both fronts to aid and support her, but... Don't hurt me for saying this, I was more convinced by the combitnation all of 7 Miku vocals in a song sounded more realistic then Yukari's performance, and Miku's one of those not suppose to be realistic at all. :-/
