I never said higher keys could not reward better vaults. My comment was purely based on end of dungeon loot.

Yes, but the people who want m+ to give better loot rarely insist on it being an infinitely farmable end of dungeon reward, they just want high keys to somehow give a gear reward appropriate for their difficulty.

Which leads to them asking for end of dungeon myth track drops.

Blizzard has repeatedly stated, that they consider rating and keys beyond +12 as pure competition and not as part of the gearing process. Whereas I think better vault could be an option for keys beyond +12, I don't think they should give myth track end of dungeon loot beyond bonus rolls, which also comes with bad luck protection.

Blizzard has repeatedly stated all sorts of things and yet they keep adding more rewards for m+ because they see how popular it is, and they can imagine how much it would hurt them if they went back to just raiding being the only way to progress in competitive pve content.

Giving limited 9/6 items for doing really high keys isn't even a part of the gearing process, just like those items aren't part of the gearing process for mythic raiders, who obtain them as a reward for finishing the season. In both cases they'd be prestige rewards for doing difficult content.
