I'd agree with you if things were as black and white as that Xey, optimum ranges are just recommended ranges put out by the company/studio. Its not suppose to be the all defining range, though often is a good indicator about where a vocaloid is best singing.

But this is the issue... Take for instance Big Al. On lower-medium notes he was better then higher, even though he had a good range overall. Tonio was better medium-higher then lower within his range, ditto the same was for Prima.

Where in the optimum range a vocaloid is best singing, (i.e. their best key), often defines what a vocaloid can do more then the whole optimum range itself. Another example; in the case of VY2, for example, this was #C2, though VY2 could go lower his best notes were within his medium section of his optimum range. :-/
