SQL was introduced in 1970s. Considering vector search was only adopted in the last 5 years, I’m not surprised by the lack of standards on vector API. At Google embedding as retrieval became popular in 2019-2020.

This is the new kid in town so you would see soon all major SQL dbs will support vector. However, any serious user, O(10M) vectors or above, would still require a dedicated vector db for performance reasons.
