No crew?
Barges not ships.
Wasn't there a comment that it smelled so bad that regular humans didn't want the job?
(Seems not?)
They have to be individually built?
Why would there only be 676 of EMH's Mark 1 in all reality if they could be copied easily?
EMH mark one is not entirely software. It's also a massive lump of hardware buried into he walls of Sickbay that 24th century technology cannot replicate virtually. Fortunately the mobile emitter is not 24th century technology.
Each EMH needs a processor the size of a minivan to work before you even network it against power requirements and the Barge's hologrid. I can only assume that each EMH's physical processor is uniquely attuned to drive it's own... No?
The Equinox EMH transferred to Voyager's Sick bay, and then the Doctor's Mobile Emitter.

Complex holograms cannot be copied?ZIMMERMAN: Because you're defective. Emergency Medical Hotheads. Extremely Marginal Housecalls. That's what everyone used to call the Mark Ones until they were bounced out of the Medical Corps. I tried to have them decommissioned, but Starfleet in its infinite wisdom overruled me and reassigned them all to work waste transfer barges. That's where you'd be too, if you hadn't been lost in the Delta Quadrant. Do you know how humiliating it is to have six hundred and seventy five Mark Ones out there, scrubbing plasma conduits, all with my face?
EMH: I'm sure they're doing a fine job.
