Just because something is commonly said, doesn't mean it is true. Think of the state of the fandom if that had been so. D: The characters on boxarts do fit into the definition of mascot, I can't think of anything else that they could be called. If not mascots them they get demoted to 'images and art' which doesn't properly convey their connection to the software. ):

If not a mascot, then what? As we are human beings, and Vocaloid programs are software, I can thinnk of no other definition for the characters on the boxes.
