I don't think her V3 is all that to do with the end of it. Its likely over time everyone has slowly grown out of this or moved on. With the exceptions of the Kagamine relationship issues, this is the same for a lot of the aging problems within the fandom.

I wouldn't called Meiko's voice bad, its just boring. The problem is within the fault of her own vocal. Its a "any girl" voice. At this point we have a number of vocals that are on her tone/vocal range and several that can do Rock, one of her classic forte genres, better. Meiko isn't suppose to be a ultra special voice, neither is Kaito, they were standard VY-esque vocals for the software.

With so many female vocalists giving their voice to the software, Meiko was basically going to be quickly have competition because the gaps are fluffed out. And being that the music industry has a set amount of things it likes, most singers will have been ironed out to sing a particular method. So, Meiko also has that to bare in mind. Its the same problem Prima would have if another English operoid came out, that Prima and that vocaloid would have trouble separating things special from each other due to the similar style, especially if it wa another soprano. :-/
