Miku was in the right place at the right time, pocessed a vocal that was relatively easy to manipulate in comparison to other vocaloids and was well marketed thansk to a combition of CFM and internet memes.

Its not until Gumi we see vocals that are as well balanced as Miku was and not until 2010 we see "easy" level vocals ("easy" being a unit of effort you can't measure note) that compete with Miku's. She literally had 2-3 years as queen of the stage and took a lot of attention. But the time the other vocaloids have managed to take off, she already was "there".
