>real life vault tec happens
That's not gonna happen for two reasons.
Reason one, and the biggest reason, is that they hate you and me. They view 99.99999% of the human race as cattle and wouldn't even bother building a communal shelter in the first place, even if their plan was to charge the hell out of you for a place inside. If they DID do that, you can rest assured that they'll have built it so cheaply that everyone inside will die, be it to the building falling in on them, the walls/door being unable to withstand a nuclear blast, or just radiation poisoning because they couldn't be bothered to make it actually protect you from the outside in some way.
Reason two, Vault Tec ran the Vault Experiments primarily for the government's benefit. They holed up on Control Station Enclave, the oil rig, and watched the experiments. The reason wasn't some sick perversion, but so they'd have a better understanding of what to do and what not to do to build a multi-generation starship to colonize another planet, assuming that nuclear war would render the Earth outright uninhabitable. Some vaults were just testing for what physical defects or cost-cutting measures to the spacecraft would do, such as testing the effects of radiation or what light level can humans reasonably work with, but many focused on the social aspects of having a bunch of people locked on a ship for multiple generations. How to dispense justice, how to ensure a stable government that remains committed to the plan, what social norms need to be upheld to maintain social order, can the crew be trusted to have ready access to weapons, etc.
Now the main reason they're not going to do that is because none of them would plan that far ahead. They don't care, it doesn't affect them so why bother? Their kids can deal with that, if they even have kids. And even if they did think that far ahead, they wouldn't bother testing anything. "Why should I test it? I'm always right"
