The term "virtual youtubers" was only coined because of the major industry pioneer Kizuna Ai, whose kayfabe was being an AI. Hence, "virtual". This fact alone shows the vast majority of the so-called "viewers" here and in fact tourists. It's especially telling how ironic weebs call vshojo talents "virtual youtubers" despite the fact that not only they aren't "virtual", but they are actually glorified fleshtubers with twitch culture that have willingly shown their audience a large amount of skin, nullifying the need for an avatar.

Stop using terms you don't understand.

She's also more honest, kind hearted, and overall a better person than most of them.

Mito and CookieswirlC are the best vtubers. Streaming is almost always bad content, people only like it because they’re lonely as fuck and need emotional support from women, it’s nothing to do with entertainment for them.

Kizuna Ai didn't have any kayfabe or other weird wrestling lingo crap. The voice behind it was a voice actress that was playing a role. It was pretty much acting which is why it was good and had so much charm. In the early days being inside a virtual environment was a common theme.
There are also differences in the technology they used, the fact that Kizuna Ai was often animated rather than motion captured. The use of high quality 3D versus budget Live2D which is mistakenly considered the best option. The company behind it also wanted to sell to developers of games and animation studios. For this they were developing 3D technologies that worked with the Live2D method, but it wasn't very good. When indies started to use it they ditched all other developments and efforts to create new technologies. Now they focus only on the direct to consumer Live2D application.
Another huge difference is that they were not streamers originally. When they did stream it was not always games. But today you will find many so-called fans that can't comprehend a world where a "vtuber" was not expected to stream games every day. This has led to stagnation of the medium as a whole.
All the ASMR and GFE stuff comes directly from egirls that were all doing the same years before.

the vtuber audience does have a lot of people who only watch for entertainment. There's a reason a vtuber will have 1k viewers for a gameplay stream and then 5k for a gimmick stream.

OP's right. Virtual YouTuber only refers to YouTube. Maybe we should switch for vcaster.
Your take about not being virtual the moment you record something IRL is a little bit bolder but yeah, Vhoejo showing skin like the whores they are is true. Even Hololive did IRL videos. I'm not against vcasters cooking or showing gloved hands sometimes. Haachama did classic streams that way.

Japan is becoming more and more isolated in it's popularity with vtubers. They don't try to do any outreach to the rest of the world, and this board isn't /jp/. We've seen a massive rise in indy vtubers, Nijisanji absolutely shitting the bed and showing how dogshit JP corpo culture can really be and their were already plenty of people who didn't like it. It's the turning point.
