Letting someone keep the model would only give them more flexibility to be able to negotiate their position better and lead to a slightly better situation for the streamer. Currently there’s nothing they can do, and can only abide by what the company asks of them or they’ll get de-personed. Plus the company might have payed or the model initially but a huge part for a vtuber’s success is the person playing the role, just look at Sana.
Plus the company gets a lot of their revenue and money from merch sales, a big cut our of sponsorships, etc. It’s not like they’d be getting nothing out of it, they currently call absolutely all the shots, this change would allow the vtuber to have at least some kind of power over their identity to negotiate at times.
The only thing Kson is trying to do is give the streamer a bargaining chip so the situation within the industry can be a bit better for for streamers, you’ve seen how many stories are out there when a company fucks over a talent and they can do nothing else but just graduate and have their entire existence cleaned out from the Internet (not necessarily talking about Coco/Hololive here, but other companies as well.) Having your entire career just wiped in a matter of seconds isn’t fair,and supporting this kind of thing just shows how backwards the way of thinking is within the vtuber community now. You can’t even compare it to normal idols, they keep existing as themselves even if they graduate and can pursue acting or normal singing careers, you get to see what they did before that, but vtubers have everything erased and it’s difficult for many of them to prove who they were or to move onto something else without losing many of their fans.
