well that's a pretty misinformed bias to begin with

Biased? Perhaps. Misinformed? Not from what I've seen so far. What I've seen -- most of which I've been shown here -- is largely unscripted, off-the-cuff stuff.

depends entirely on the vtuber. akatsuki uni gives daily introductions and explanations for an extremely broad variety of topics, coco also covers daily news for the intended audience of the 25-35 year old viewers she has as they commute to work, some like himari rely heavily on setpieces and scripted videos, and a LOT of them use vtubing as a way to broadcast their talents in a more entertaining way (suisei/chima/watame doing singing streams, luna practicing piano for like 4 hours every night, etc)

you are only seeing the super popular ones who are carried almost entirely by their personality, but there is room and precedent for mangaka to take part in this space in a productive and positive manner for their career

But is the content partitioned in a useful manner or is it just the kind of thing where you'd listen to full episodes at a time and maybe pick up some things from them?

And discussing daily news automatically dates content. Within a few weeks it becomes almost worthless (especially given that you'd want to just go to where they originally got their information at that point). Meanwhile a lot of manga have a timeless quality. People routinely read things written over 25 years ago. Can you imagine sitting and just leaving to somebody discussing what happened in the news 25 years ago? That doesn't really have the same impact.
