Its likely because they don't have to pay Yamaha to make vocals for Miku and can make more profit. The only trouble Miku has 20,000-40,000 producers behind her and had become the "standard" voicebank. At this point, its only a disaster if those producers follow Miku. This could make or break both Miku and Vocaloid.

On the one hand, those loyal to Vocaloid will stay and just use other Vocaloids... On the other you may get people who see no point in sticking with Vocaloid when Miku's on another place. Its a chance for another Vocaloid to raise and Miku fall, but also for Miku to raise even further and Vocaloid to fall itself.

Baring in mind, lauching another synth is a problem in the current climate. Since 2014 interest in vocal synths had waned an part why CFM wasn't rushing to release new vocals was mostly likely because it was getting harder to sell them. To top it off, you have CeVIO and Synth V, an while its active, UTAU has 5,000+ producers still.

We don't know whats going to happen, but this may not even work out for Miku.
