That one is more natural without the word "some" imo

Depends where the stress is.

"They are some vendors, not all vendors" is natural.

"They are vendors, not all vendors"is equally natural.

Written without stress indicators, most dialog can sound unnatural.

I agree, so it's still not an ideal example.
