I have seen allot of :confused: about vendor images in rom threads and Q&A
I figured allot of people dont even know what a vendor image is well its where the proprietary binaries sit now on their own partition called the vendor.img
they used to sit in /system but now have their own partition much like the bootloader and modems do. its use is to house the device specific files etc.
This was done for a multitude of reasons including legal/licensing issues .
heres a really good discussion on it i found very informative

PS: you dont have to flash the newest vendor every time you flash a ROM :good::highfive:
on most devices you can flash it from twrp 3.0.0-1 and above by going where you normally do to flash a zip and selecting flash image and choosing vendor
