>>58832974Many reasons.
>The song's already a success.It's a lot easier to justify throwing your life and soul at a decent animation when it's for something that everyone already likes. Throwing tons of either effort or budget a la Marine is only worth for a cold start new release it if you're extremely confident that your sight unseen investment will pay off somehow. Like FWMC's original song that's doing no numbers whatsoever.
>Copyright fuckery.Even if the song doesn't have an MV, the rights holder will still shoot you for daring to make an MV for it without their explicit permission. There are so fucking many MVs lost to history because of this one reason, and is inversely likely why so much utaite stuff revolves around Vocaloid and its relative lack of copyright enforcement.
>AlgoPeople are making them, you've just never seen them because the algo says fuck you. For many reasons that keep changing, the algo hates short animations, or else gives fuck you for reward for making them.
>Survivorship bias.https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2397344This is the original not-MMD/Project Diva MV for Love is War; I couldn't find a good copy on YouTube and NND hasn't been region locked in a decade so eh. It's..the same level of animated that the throwaway covers are.
