Maybe a little too much bias in that post, but I think half the problem was they were going into something and didn't have any experience behind it. The lack of experience let them get into something they weren't prepared for, nor knew how to solve the issues related to it. True while Miku english is far from perfect, even compared to native english built vocals, it was not CFM's first vocal. This meant they knew what to expect and what they were getting into.

Top it off, CFM helped PFX with YOHIOloid's Japanese vocal, while PFX's vocal Sweet Ann had helped with English Miku too.

Internet co's fault is simply they got into something they didn't know what they were going to let themselves in for and produced only a bare basic vocal in response with no thrills about it. Its usable and still quite good for what it is, but even I've confessed to myself over time this vocal isn't as good as its potentially could have been.

As studios produce vocals, they learn experience, hence why even when the software doesn't get updated much, certain results can be witnessed at the beginning and end of a VOCALOID engines life cycle. Such as the difference was with Miku and VY2, a early and ending Japanese vocal. :-/
