In professional singing "Nasally" is not considered a very professional sound as it means you don't know how to control your voice. For example, opera singers have to avoid being nasally completely. Breathing through your nose also offers less control over tone then breathing through your vocal cords.

Ruby's nasalliness according to things is a by-product of going into Vocaloid, I think many Vocaloids such as Gackpo likely have the issue as well. Ruby's original samples recording do not have a nasally tone. The conclusion was the sound became present either when construction of the voicebank (the cutting of samples such as vowels, diphones and triphones, etc) or its the engine itself adding it. I believe its the engine, as I said ever since this was mention I've suspected this is not the only case and several other Vocaloids are being impacted. I noticed nasalliness can be a by product among vocal synths in general.
