Well, you could say it makes them unneeded. But to my mind, although companies risk losing interest due to not having stand-out features in their vocals, no Vocaloid has been too similar to any other yet. Some Vocaloid's differences lie in their technological capabilities, such as Chika's new triphones.

OP sounds a little out of date, we have just recently had the release of new Vocaloid vFlower, who has one of the most different voicetypes out of all the cast. Anon and Kanon are also very different from the average Vocaloid.

Keep in mind, Chika doesn't have much more similarities to Gumi than Miku does to Rin, we're just more used to distinguishing the latter.
