Maybe she isn't as obscure as she was, but she is not anywhere around Meiko's level, let alone Luka. |D

Even if Vocaloid doesn't get a lot songs recently, it doesn't mean it's unpopular. Look at Kaito or Meiko. They are popular, not insanely popular (well, especially Meiko) as GUMI or Miku are, but still. And they don't get new songs simply because they are outdated. They are two generations behind already |D What's the point of using an outdated and old voicebank, when I can use a high quality V3 voicebank? Of course people are going to choose a new stuff, especially if it's popular, like GUMI and IA are. And Lily, unlike Luka, has a V3 update. Iroha is a late V2 release, so she can compete with many V3 voicebanks.

Popularity of Vocaloid =/= only number of its songs and views, but also the size of its fanbase.
