There are much better ways of making this sound that have far better modulation options. If people took the time to learn how to apply the bitcrushing effect externaly or use Sample and Hold in Massive, they could make far better 'yoi' sounds.
As for growls, most people should have learned that their god king Skrillex doesn't use Modern Talking; he processes externally just like other decent EDM producers.
I think the reason people use Modern Talking as their one-stop for dubstep basslines is because it is easier to simply modulate the wavetable with an LFO instead of taking the time to achieve quality sound design.
As a waveform alone, Modern Talking can be fine. That is, if you take the time to process the signal into something that sounds more professional and has a place in your song.
But as an instant dubstep bass, hell no. You can just tell when someone uses Modern Talking completely dry, and it just sounds both weak and lazily produced.
