I think it has to do with animation quality due to engine limits, because I felt the same thing (personally, a sense of stagnation) with Skyrim modding - you can make that game look really pretty by combining all sorts 4K textures and ENBs (custom shaders) up the ass, and it is good for screenshots and stills, but as soon as anything moves in-game (animations) everything gets thrown off and falls apart and I just wanna Alt-F4 out, because modded graphics have far exceeded the animations, which are much harder to mod because the engine had to run on PS3 hardware. Graphics and animations not moving in tandem leads to uncanny valley.
Sadly, I think only a major technical overhaul of MMD or it going commercial like Vocaloid for the next major release (MMD 10 or MMDX) would revitalize the scene. It would help if people in Japan got off their potato toaster craptops and got some real desktop computer and graphics hardware. Maybe VR will force a wave of upgrades but I doubt it. An overhaul might break everyone's models so people would get mad. It's hard to move on sometimes.
