I say the lack of excitement is the fact there are still voice banks being released, along with vocals that were released just a months ago. People were following the news for V3 era and are still interested in that (likely due to Crypton). When V2 era was coming to a close there were no surprise announcements of new vocals + engine, it was promoted but people took it as "alright, progress" and studios had plenty of time to work on their products. Yet when it comes to V4 it was like BAM! It's coming whether you want it or not!

And also when V2 arrived it was rather quiet until Miku hit the net. V2s early years were rather modest.
