Oliver is English and that kinda takes him out of the sphere of "males don't succeed", and Fukase we don't actually know how well he did.

Gackpo was succeeding in V2, and was at one stage among the "Big 8", the traditional Vocaloids that people used to rely on. He has since fallen out of favour.

Act1 and English Len basically revert back to sounding Female that its not funny. CFM manipulates the other voicebanks to sound more masculine, its no big deal as this is common practice among CFM, they only didn't do this to Kaito and Meiko, those two just got sound filters.

A lot of people, myself included think a lot of the things said about gender have been misinterpreted. Japanese->English is not perfectly translated.

To be quite honest... There are only 2 new 3rd party releases in V5, them and Sora. Thats not much. If you treat each new generation as like having a new software for a moment, thats more notable the few releases rather then whats been released. Vocaloids at the point wherein its not the popular trend setting software it was 10 years ago and that makes a difference to a lot of the way things are going forward. To complain in 2019 about the lack of male releases at a time releasing is actually likely more of a risk then it seems, its somewhat in my books a futile thing. If V5 had as many releases as V3 or V4, we'd have a point to make. Yes, there have been more males in the past, but in the present, we're not even having enough releases to complain about the lack of male releases.

The fandom need to think about its priorities sometimes.
