Design wise
Miku
>Oversized twintails creating iconic silhouette that was not assigned to anything before.
>Mono color design with eye catching color that was not assigned to anything before.
>Futuristic themed but still uses simple recognizable clothing with reasonable gimmicks, not too overbearing.
>Design was released in a time when there are not a lot of this type of character designs yet. so stands out more.
>Not attached to anything so can be attached to everything.
>Already iconic with time so will always stands out to new characters.

Anime characters
>Simpler design due to the need to be re-drawn.
>Tend to use a more grounded/realistic design/clothes.
>Overcrowded market in character design so hard to be recognized as original.
>Attached to a story/characteristic so fan interpretations are limited.
>New so needs getting used to.

Not to mention the voice of course and the fandom role in building her to be what she is today.
The combination of all of those creates Miku.

KEI understands the importance of silhouette, Rin, Len, and Luka also have the same design points as Miku. Rin's ribbon, Len's unique hair, and Luka's dress instead of Miku's twintails for the sillhouette for example.
