...That's true of every single VOCALOID ever created. Absolutely none of them have a real personality of their own, all are dependent on what the creator uses them for.

She's popular because her avatar design is appealing to people and she has a particularly good vocal range due to being Crypton's flagship product and having many updated singing voice types, not because she's special in this regard. As a matter of fact, unlike the very first VOCALOIDS ever created (Leon, Lola, and Miriam, all of whom mothy has used in his series as more minor roles), she actually has a canon (in her marketing) personality, of a cute and cheerful performer who loves making fans happy.

Margarita and other Miku characters are probably incorportating or deconstructing ideas of who she's often portrayed as, but the very nature of the VOCALOID program--a tool used to make songs with no actual will of its own--probably isn't a part of it.
