Why no current implementation uses sparse arrays as the representation
of (some) vectors? Or does any?

If no implementation does a particular thing, then perhaps it's not
a wise choice to do. Leaving room for it only reduces programmer
confidence and encourages them to rely on common practice instead
of on standard guarantees.
