No, you weren't being rude, I definitely understand what you're saying. And I am by no means trying to claim that UTAU is a superior software, especially as Vocaloid is "synth" type of software while UTAU is...... well something else, but as I am personally familier with using both softwares I definitely feel UTAU has some advantages over Vocaloid besides the obvious such as the hundreds of voices you have access to, especially in English. Like for example, the issue I always had with vocaloid is that evey phoneme always extremely consistant and many times dampers on the voicebank's level of naturality, so in short, the voice always stays the same, and while many times this issue occurs in UTAU as well, it provides you with other ways to remedy this issue it, such as manipulating flags or rather setting that aren't available, and if the has more than one pitch recorded for it, using those different pitches outside if their designated ranges in the prefix.map most certainly helps too. I most certainly realize UTAU has it's flaws and it's far from perfect, the thing about UTAU though is it's a very "experimental" software for lack of a better word, and the fact that's there's a lot to be explored within the software attracts people to it, not simply because they believe it's a superior software, that's my take on it anyways, and why UTAU is generally my preferred software.
