Forget about the term Radar Vectoring. It's gone. History.

provided you take the view that "ATS surveillance service" really means "radar vectored".
It does not mean that at all, and if you take that view then you are misleading yourself. I am being given an "ATC Surv service" when I am on a STAR being descended to the radar lowest safe, then at the end they clear me for a Visual Approach. That is not radar vectoring.
