I think it's also partially because the style of the artwork is the appeal of Chika's look, not the design itself. I would personally compare her to Mew, whose monochrome artwork looked very classy and professional, but put off artists. Chika is almost in the same situation, with only a little pink in the shading. Chika's design itself is very simple, and looks like something one might really wear. However, this also works against her. The lack of 'frills', as in patterns and interesting finishing touchs leaves the design looking ordinary almost to the point of being unmemorable.

However you analyse it, if you were to draw Chika in an ordinary anime style, she would appear very plain in comparison to other Vocaloids. This is because her focus is on the style in which the design is executed, not the design itself. Hence, while she looks great on her own, it doesn't facillitate fanart.
