On a practical matter, it does not matter who gets blamed for the faults or the shortcomings. What is important is that neither VAN nor mini-VAn work quite are promised, to the point that I've gone back to paper. Annoys the candidate, but I'd rather the candidate be annoyed than the folks on whose doors I am knocking.

If you dont return data to the system (whether collected via Mini VAN or printed lists), it doesn't work as designed.

Not sure who is making promises, or what they are promising, but VAN works pretty darn well for what it's designed for when used properly, even if the interface is clunky and outdated and overly complicated.

That covers just about every excuse for why it does not work, especially the "when used properly" part.
