I get what you mean. I've been part of the fandom for (almost) a year and I consider myself pretty new, so I make tons of mistakes about Vocaloid. But I have been watching this Vocaloid series : [AtH VX2 History of the Vocaloids EXTRA 2 - Official Derivatives and the Item Wars]

Although the video is old, it explains the Item Wars a bit. You should really check this guy's channel out because he's one amazing dude and has made a video on every single Vocaloid released. (I'll note that some Vocaloids have their own videos while others were bunched together in his first series, "History of the Vocaloids". He also has made some videos on UTAUs.)

All of the Vocaloids are very unique, though some of them (Rin, Len and Luka) have carried/are carrying (not to mention Anon and Kanon) a past Vocaloid's (Miku) style. (Of course, CV01-03 were all drawn by KEI, giving them an exception. And although Anon and Kanon have outfits similar to Miku's, they don't look exactly like Miku.)

I do agree with many of the things that you have just said and hope you think the same. If not, it's fine.
