Sonic had 7 vocal and twenty-whatever instrumental not because vocal is harder but because if all the songs were instrumental it would distract players from, you know, PLAYING THE GAME. Most of the music is probably background music, meant to add depth or mood or whatever to the setting unobtrusively, not call attention to itself with yelling lyrics

The vocals were to the opening and the 6 characters and the instrumental were to the levels. In Sonic Adventure 2, they actually made also a vocal to the first level and it made a great impact, not distracting at all, just great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCs42XSwI-c

 

You clearly have no idea about anything you're talking about, do you?  Did you NOT know that many boarding games (skate boarding or whatever) have music with singing in it?  It was a trend and had NOTHING, and I repeat, NOTHING to do with "evolution" and everything to do with the genre.  While I'm not saying Sonic is a sports game, I am saying that the reason for using the vocals is pretty clear.
