When they take you off a STAR it’s smart to keep altitude and speed constraints in the back of your mind as you may get cleared to a waypoint further down the line once clear of weather or slower/faster conflict traffic.
So even though they were on a vector they may have decided to slow to 210 and select flaps 1 as that was the constraint for the next waypoint.
