It's happened with Nana, why not here? I don't get your point. 1) Nana never was an UTAU and 2) She wasn't going to become the "Mac Vocaloid" when she was first released, she was only released as a vocal synth plugin for mac's music production programs, as at the time there weren't many vocal synths for mac users.

Nana's original voice was meant to be pitched manually, in similar fashion to Manual Vocaloid, the concept UTAU was based on. And as the product had a licence that allowed her use in multiple programs, people used her in UTAU to keep away from the trouble on manually pitching. They did use her in UTAU, but she was still a Macne product meant for garageband and reason.
