Don't worry. The other, older Vocaloids get far more songs at a greater frequency still that newer Vocaloids. So people with your opinion are by far at an advantage.

I hypothesis that you probably like having Vocaloids as something 'special'; apart from real singers; unlike what Vocaloid was originally designed to be: a backup and useful alternative for those who unfortunatly cannot hire vocalists. With this in mind their clear aim was to get as close to real-life quality as possible.

Its ironic how the fandom has turned out to be. The listeners have such different wishes and requirements than producers. And some producers do like Vocaloid for their 'specialness' – it sets them apart and gives them leaverage for marketing: with this special object they can attract the crowd that are into them for that very reason. Robotic voices go from being an uncanny valley annoyance to something that sets them apart for uniqueness rather than technical failiure. This phenomena seems to have occured due to the Crypton marketing strategy – The 'virtual diva' concept – making Vocaloids into fantastical characters; not meagre instruments aiming to get the best musical quality.

However other producers, who may not even put 'Vocaloid' in their titles, or draw the mascots; who use Vocaloid for practical purposes, really want this kind of thing. They don't want some character, this is their work about themselves and they are using and tuning Vocaloid carefully purely so they can now able to add lyrics. Therefore realism is a wonderful advancement for many.
