Why Don't Vex Utilize Darkness?

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe we've seen any faction or even single unit of Vex that has used Stasis, Strand, Resonant, or Nightmare power / technology. Not even the Sol Divisive care to integrate Darkness into their units, with their closest connection to it being the Black Heart from years ago. Even Maya hasn't used Darkness weaponry for her Choral Vex . Maybe this is more of a gameplay thing, but every other race so far has had at least a minor connection to Darkness power in some way. ((Fallen have used both Stasis and Strand across different houses, Cabal Shadow Legion use Strand and Resonance shielding (Barant Imperium probably has more Darkness weapons), Dread and [Dire] Taken are pretty obvious, and Hive use all kinds of things like Nightmares, Ascendant Realm stuff, Resonance probably, Wrathborne (not sure if that counts), and others.)) So anyway, is there a lore reason why Vex don't use Darkness in their weapons or other technology? I might not have the firmest grasp on the concepts of Stasis and Strand, but anything or anyone should technically be able to wield them right? Why don't the Vex throw units at the issue like The Guardian did until they learn to master these powers? And I know right now they're using the Echo, through Maya, to learn and possibly seize paracausality, but why don't they capture and study Taken, Dread, Lightbearers including Hive? They sort of did this in the past, and it probably wouldn't yield anything, but it could lead to them creating Light-suppressing technology like the Cabal did. Speaking of, how did the Cabal make such tech before the Vex?
