I think the issue is just that vtubers aren't "characters in a movie portrayed by someone", although maybe some corporation could do that.
There's already a precedent for people growing attached to the person behind the model but still associating the model with the person, and that's why this will basically never work for vtubers.
Since we're on unpopular opinions though, I actually have more issues with the fact that vtubers graduating means the model/character is gone forever but the actor can just come back as someone else but everyone already knows who it is. I'd much rather the community have allowed vtubers to own and reuse their models regardless of who they are because the assets are wasted otherwise and it makes the whole concept of "actor and model are the same" really dumb if the person graduates and debuts multiple times over their career, or even once, really.
Graduation should be a bigger deal, something where the person is probably never coming back to vtubing. Not "Dodging corporate politics" or "Getting tired of haters on Twitch"
