Well, in the case of MAIKA is something simple. Practically there aren't powerful or all-around English vocals for the V3 generation. All the V3 voicebanks are intended for soft genres (OLIVER>choir type; AVANNA>Celtic singing), or lack the strength the V2 English vocals used to have (Just compare YOHIOloid against Sweet Ann, Big Al, Prima or Tonio). The only decent all-around English vocal found in V3 is GUMI English.

Seeing that, the time of mastering and equalization required to compensate partially that "softness" probably is comparable to the work of phonetic edition required to achieve a decent level of English.

I know at least 3 producers that argued something similar to what I posted above, included YZYX. Also, I think there's a reason why Giussepe and BlancaNegra prefers the V2 voicebanks for their English covers, despite being outdated VBs.
