a good deal of the westerm mmd thrived with edits of popular models, using a deprecated mtl'd program to cut and paste stuff to make their own character, is no brainer that the majority jumped to vrstudio since is way easier compared to fiddling with pmxeditor, or porting stuff from ancient h-games like 3d custom girl to create your own OC (regardless of the results being better looking or not). the same with the ones who were more proficient with modeling that they went to blender or other 3d programs since there's more documentation and are constantly updated.
that said, i still found mmd to be a decent program to pick up, load a model and pose it around and take pics.
