I think that the reason we have too many same-sounding vocals is because companies all aim at the same genres, like pop and rock. The lack of male vocals isn't helping either since they could help with divercity.

As for the designs, i don't think we should care that much about how similar one might look to the other, unless there is obvious stealing, that is. And as a whole i don't think that design should form our opinion on a vocal. For example, i'm not the biggest fan of Vocaloid Fukase's design but i do like his voice a lot (even tho i it sounds really robotic and not always good) and even tho i like MAIKA's design i don't like her voice, no matter how many covers or originals i hear she always sounds nasally(?), i don't know she just sounds off to me. That doesn't mean i hate MAIKA or that i'm going to jugde people that like her voice, of course.
