The Kagamine Appends were the second to last Vocaloid 2 release. They weren't ignoring the fans, they simply couldn't release Luka Append because they hadn't finished it. As for their decision to put KAITO V3's development first, perhaps the factor that he was on a completely unsupported engine played in, but I believe Miku V3 was a priority because of her English's development time and less recording required to make her Appends, only needing triphones. Also consider all the money they were guaranteed by releasing Miku V3. Maybe funds for less popular voicebank development?

Right now, they are working on MEIKO V3, likely because since she's KAITO's partner. As much as I would like Luka's V3 after that, nothing can be guaranteed, but I believe there is a high chance they will do Kagamine V3 before Luka simply because of the shorter recording time. At the same time, they do already have at least some of Luka V3's recordings, and there has been no mention of Kagamine recording.

It's still a 50/50 on if they'll do her after MEIKO, but they are getting to her.

As for Luka's popularity, it's mostly in the hands of the producers. If they want to pick up Luka and use her, that's all their decision. If they use her, fans will give her a chance, if they don't use her, she won't get that chance. I believe that fans will listen to her more if producers use more.
