Its how they were set up in the V2 era, they were meant to set "a new standard" within the V2 era for vocal quality and were stated by Bplats to be HQ. Everything was meant to return the Vocaloid software to its intention of being a software aimed at professionals, and they were made for that target audience specifically.

Basically, at the point the VY1 product was released, the focus was becoming more and more on the vocaloid software itself and more about the characters. This was down to Miku and co's avatars becoming hugely popular.

One could argue how successful the VY series intent was as they've slowly edged away from their original intentions a little over time. :-/
