Vault-Tec....huh

[Daehawk]

Fallout's original co-creator has casually dropped 'the true purpose of vaults' on YouTube

All those nefarious experiments had a purpose: getting the hell out of here.

That one was sleuthed out a while ago (there are all sorts of bits and pieces all through the lore about it), although it's cool to hear it confirmed from a (formerly?) official source. Think about the 'seclusion' experiments they do for modern space travel - putting a team of people in a small shelter for a year to see what kind of problems might crop up on Mars, for instance. That's Vault-Tec, just on a much smaller scale.

Of course, the problem they had was obvious: Now that we have the experimental facilities, how do we get the test subjects?

Spoiler:

Vault-Tec seems to have arranged for the war.

Oxhorn (one of the best known Fallout lore guys) goes into the various hints and clues, and it's pretty convincing. If you're looking for a deep-dive into it, here:
