It's also makes business sense to use virtual characters.

If you are a streamer whose sole income is based on sites like twitch/youtube, getting banned could mean the end of your career and social life. Many streamers live together and collaborate with one another and sites like twitch have rules where you can't stream with banned streamers. So getting banned doesn't just mean getting banned from the site, it also means getting banned from your friend group because interactions with you could get them banned too.

With virtual avatars you could evade a ban by changing your model and also use a voice changer. I haven't personally heard of any cases where streamers use virtual characters to evade bans but I'm sure its at least happened.

It also becomes easier to become a marketing tool. Since Code Miko isn't a physical entity, she could easily be used in video ads just by sending ad agencies her model. No more flights to video shoots, all you need is a 3d animator.
