The problem with Common Voice is the same resource problem plaguing open source efforts in general - for TTS data, it's not just the size that matters, it's also the quality.

For something like Sonantic, you need clean recordings from professional actors in proper recording environments (not to mention the in-house expertise to then filter these down to curate the training/test datasets). That costs money. A million people with laptop microphones will just never get there.
