I wonder why the controller agreed to vector a VFR plane 15 miles deeper
into the soup and toward thunderstorms, rather than in the opposite
direction. Does ATC just automatically defer to the pilot in such a
situation?


I wondered that, too.

Perhaps in the situation where a VFR pilot has already blundered into
clouds, they just vector him toward an airport as requested?
