To me, Miku V4X just wasn't needed at this time. It seems like CFM saw it as a challenge rather than a opportunity to improve their line-up. However, it did get them to develop their own vocal manipulating software.

As Angel mentioned, the release of VOCALOID4 spurred on Miku V4X which resulted in Luka and the Kagamines being put on the back burning and released as low quality products (IMO/but ppl manage). Frankly, I am was actually shocked at what happened with the Kagamines and was extremely disappointed with what happened to Luka. Luka has her fans and her producers and they were waiting for an updated voicebank for four years and CFM releases her V4X with such insulting results.

So in my view, people who are fans of Crypton but have some dislike of Miku are upset at the fact that her existence has greatly overshadowed her fellow Vocaloids. Me, I like Miku but I am just not obsessed with her nor feel a need to 'protect' her because for every one hater there are two lovers.
