Vector is special in a very similar way: debug info contains only vector value location. Custom logic is needed to turn it into scalarized array representation. And then there's still a step required to allocate the corresponding typed vector box which wraps the payload.

I'm not saying it is not possible to represent current on-heap shape solely in debug info, but it would require significant refactorings/enhancements of existing machinery. And would complicate possible changes of the on-heap vector/mask shape. It is not something "cut in stone" and can evolve over time.
