Well, ATC has certain requirements in order to give you vectors to final.
And those requirements are not always met even in a "radar environment".
For example -- my home base.

What are those requirements? Are you talking about MVA?

The "final approach course" and approach gate (radar fix one mile prior to FAF
or 5 miles from the runway threshold, whichever is further) must be displayed
on the ATC video map. If the facility elects not to have the IAP video-mapped
in this manner then vectors to final are not permitted.
