Vignettes can also be viewed through the dynamic system, but they perhaps more useful as standalone documentation (say on the CRAN page of a package). Would it be really useful to be able to run the code only in the limited setup of dynamic help? The other issue is that examples are expected to be short and simple, whereas vignettes can often be more complicated. They will also typically include the "output" from running the code, so what would be the point of running it again? If you want to really try the vignette code, then the package documentation page typically includes the R code extracted from a vignette, which you can download and run. And of course with IDEs like ESS or RStudio, you can simply open the vignette source and run the code interactively.
