Now to answer the second part of your question. There are basically two answers,

The easy answer is: companies have tried, unfortunately being able to catch unto the algorithm is difficult.

The more complicated answer: For this there's a shitton of context that needs to be explained. First part of it is that there is a gender war going on locally, so a lot of people are seeing the appeal of more foreign content. That's a huge factor, but there are a few more factors. To explain, there used to be a cabal of pngtubers that dominated the KR streaming scene from about 2017. Pixel being one of them. The strategy they employed was to stream, then double dip using dedicated clip channels. This happened long before the current generation of vtubers (Hololive, etc.) became a thing. Using this method they were basically able to take over the streaming world, and in some cases, the larger talents made it into the mainstream media. However, because they were unchallenged for so long they became complacent and started coasting off their fame. There were various other reasons for their decline as well, but I think that deserves a separate explanation. Anyways, when things really started to get stagnant, Hololive clips started becoming a thing in KR. The audience of those clip watchers (who were getting sick of regurgitated content) all moved on to Hololive clips. And this can be easily seen (in an ironic twist) where if you go to these pngtuber's streams where they do react content, a good portion of those videos that viewers send are vtuber clips. So in terms of clip viewershare, the old guard pngtubers are fighting a losing battle against the new Hololive/Nijisanji/EN Indie vtuber clippers, and this also reflects badly on any local KR vtuber clips as well. (Keep these pngtubers in mind, because I'm probably going to talk about them a lot when talking about the local KR scene.)
