Actually, for some they already are, if you look at the discussions, especially after MG's "big shift" away from the galge market in recent years.
It's probably too soon to say this but I'm also surprised that I feel like they are quickly becoming one of the best contenders on the market. Tight release schedule, actual release windows with which they seem to follow through, good announcements. I wasn't terribly excited about the first batch but Hello Lady and AoKana are as top-tier as it gets, save for something like FSN, KKK or SnU. Plus NekoNyan, despite the excessively silly name, seem like literally the only eroge localization company to plan things through. Hopefully they can keep it up, sell well and deliver.

If players' frustration by itself could kill publishers most of the companies currently dominating the gaming market would be long dead and gone.

Always remember the core idea of moege: The girls you don't pick, will die lonely, unloved and depressed by their traumas and issues. 

Nanairo Reincarnation when

They don't have the right people to handle anything.

Personal comments:
There was already a bit of a hype about Kin'iro Loveriche, so it doesn't really come as a surprise that it won the Getchu awards, even if I would have made my bet on Clochette's Harumina.
Nice to see Minori back on the graphics throne. I think it goes back to ef and Eden when they last got it. Though I think I liked their old style a bit more. 
Having Ouchi ni Kaeru made ga Mashimaro Desu win the ero awards is... slightly surprising, considering it looks more like an all ages game. 
Looks like Eushully are back, even if they are not at the top yet.
Seems like Dergonu was right - ChronoBox seems a lot more popular in Japan than in the west.
Is Nora to Oujo to Noraneko Heart really getting an English translation or was it just a fake announcement about 2 years ago?
Miburo seems to be a bit lower ranked than its predecessor ChuSingura overall, though maybe that's just because its not 'new' anymore. I think at least the graphics are better.
I'm somewhat interested in Ouka Sabaki - the theme of murder mystery in past Japan looks very interesting.

At the same time I had seen even less people that actually played and berated it lol
It just goes to show how there's way too few english-speaking readers to make serious assumptions about anything. I also seriously doubt that most of those VNDB voters have ever read it, even machine-translated, we do have a culture of "I'll just look at dem CGs and rate my hype for the game" in the West.

Wouldn't this virtually always be the case for untranslated VNs? I mean Japan is the only country in the world which speaks Japanese.

Have only just realised that I didn't write anything on the topic. Well, here we go again.
Would be nice to see more hyped games from the MG partners like Evolimit, Fairytale Requiem, Amatsutsumi, Byakko, Sakura no Mori, Soreyori no Prologue and Asairo.
Would be nice for Sekai to not delay Nanairo Reincarnation till 2020 and announce Akeiro Kaikitan.
Would be nice if JAST stopped mocking its customers and actually started releasing and announcing Nitro+ games.
Would be nice if Light and Makura announced new localisations.
Would be nice for Frontwing to release their localisations faster.
Would be nice if someone finally partnered with August, Akatsuki Works and Railsoft.
Would be nice to see more detective-ish VNs like Chronobox, Ouka Sabaki and Shinsou Noise.
Would be nice to get J.Q.V,  Hatsuyuki Sakura, Hikari no Umi no Apeiria..
Etc, etc, etc. But honestly, I feel like more console VNs is something I want to see the most. Net high, Tsuihou Senkyo, Yu-No remake, Robotic;Notes/Occultic;Nine and such. (PQube please)

I highly doubt Hikari have any rights to the english version, you don't "split" IP during the licensing, you usually only give them rights to distribute it in a certain language or region. Sure, they can obtain the license to the english version too but then that would only mean that you are late to the party. You wouldn't license from Hikari either way, it is still Moonstone's IP.

SUPIPARA CHAPTER THREE 

Well, sure, though I do wonder which of the letters in a "sister enthusiast" looks like "9" or "g".
