It's just not hard to make a passable-looking one and as long as it's decently cute then you rapidly get diminishing returns for the caliber of design vs all the other criteria people judge on.
Coco spent like 10k for her Kson model for example. She was already well known for her fun personality before that despite the actual Holo Coco model looking pretty crappy with utterly crap rigging; its mouth couldn't even close for most of Coco's career. But that didn't really matter vs what she actually brought to the table content wise. Yet with her super-fancy, hot, amazingly-rigged Kson model, she is scraping by on like 2k viewers these days as an indie without the Holo name/panache to it. Which, makes sense for someone whose most famous content is collabs generally - she as a solo streamer (or constantly palling around with random 2views) isn't as good a package as Coco was.
