Completely agreed.
An issue - vertex mode is not for “viewing vertices”, but for editing edges/topology by corner nodes called vertices, so it will be much better, if vertex mode will have edge mode’s wire thickness (to become thicker) instead of face mode’s.
Currently vertex mode is looking more like field of vertices, or even pointcloud, it is hard to view topological connections between them on a dense meshes both in organic and architectural modeling.
Here is mockup with both wire thickness, thicken wires allows to see topology properly in vertex mode:
