Not all senses are created equal. Eyesight is far and away our most useful sense. You can make up for lack of echolocation with a flashlight, but you can't really make up for lack of sight with anything, which is why you see deaf people claiming they're an "alternate lifestyle" but blind people not so much. This is less like not having echolocation and more like not having ESP. Oh, and everyone else has it and they've structured civilization around people having it.
If you don't wanna write itbecause it'd come out all sappy, that's fine. It's not like the game goes out of its way to make us think about the issue, since the question of uplifting the vanae is never raised. This just isn't a good justification.
I don't want to write it because I think it's unnecessary, on top of being a metric fuckton of work. I'm the king of sap, and not just the tree kind. Sap is so my jam, I spread it on toast.
And yes, eyesight is a human's most useful sense. But it's not necessary to survive. There are animal species who survive without it, particularly deep water species where light doesn't reach, the sort that vanae are based on. Plus, they're pretty much 'Daredevil, the Species'.
