They said it can write code. They never said it can fix code or debug issues.

That's like saying you can drive, bit can't navigate or park.

I have met people that dont know how to navigate with Google maps and its painful to be a passenger with them.

Driving with a nav system is a part of the driver license test here.

That guy picked me up as a rideshare driver once. He was late.

Ironically cars can park and navigate, but not drive.

I think the largest failure is bad architecture, or that is the inability to understand architecture at all. After your vibe coded project gets larger than a prototype and you "zoom out" to try and grasp what is going on, is when you see how bad it is.
