A lot of problems also came from people with older computers. I don't think the number of Vocaloids installed would impact the editor at all. Also even when I was at highschool my teacher used to warn us that for the first year a lot of things would be expected to be wrong with something.

I can remember then at college later on talking about the Game Command and Conquer: Red Alert in my IT group (I took I.T. as a backup for if the arts didn't work out, we could do 3 or 4 AS-levels, and we then would drop 1 to focus on 2 or 3 for A-levels) and I mentioned when you read the notes included with add-ons, you often found lots of patch notes as the purpose for these add-ons was secretly to add bug fixies. I also told my group about the "go faster" cheat that was mentioned in the bug glitches with anything that carried vehicles, one which few knew about. IF you groups a bunch of tanks, or any unit, with a single carrier be it the water one or land, all the tanks would travel faster. They couldn't fix the bug, so to make it fair they just included mention of the bug in the patch notes so everyone was aware of it.

Basically any software for a period of time after the software has been released can be expected to contain bugs. You just can't with a PC account for all possible combinations of software and hardware. Even if everyone has the same version of the same OS... There are so many other software combinations they could have and hardwares. ITs the downside of PC software, especially since PCs are more prone to going wrong over Macs because of their design. So you always expect some faults. However, as I said to someone else the one thing you can't hold back is if you yourself have something like a pre-2010 computer and want to have Vocaloid on it. Long story short, every 4 years technology is different enough that the average specs is different.

Software companies have no reason to base a game on anything older then 4 years at times so will usually either go by average specs for the market or bare minium sold as new specs for major computer producing companies. As you can imagine, what is standard in 2018 is the same as 2010. We're talking in 2010 of about 4 RAM I believe was the average, which has since at least doubled to 8 RAM bare basic PC of todays standard. They don't expect producers to all have C gaming £3000+ and upwards specs, but they do expect a tad bit better then a tablet.
