@ topic starter: Yes it is true in our operations...

Recently, I flew with the chief pilot of our company and upon reaching the homebase destination, he expected me (rookie B737 driver) to draw the expected radar vectors* in the MAP. He was kinda frustrated that I entered the full arrival procedure in the FMC.

I think to have expected radar vectors drawn in the MAP to increase situational awareness is great but at the same time I believe I should rely more on basic navigation skills especially at this point in my career.
