Why aren't there more public demonstrations or events where vacuum brands spread crumbs, dust, and small bits of debris around and under furniture, then let people try the latest models? It seems like a practical way to compare suction, maneuverability, noise, and how well each vacuum handles different surfaces before buying.

These kinds of demonstrations used to be more common at state fairs and similar events. They may still happen occasionally, but they’re not widespread enough to be a reliable way to compare current models.
Independent product-testing organizations already do something close to this. They compare vacuums using controlled tests for pickup on different surfaces, though shoppers usually see the results in reviews rather than getting to try the machines themselves.
Some Dyson stores and larger shopping centers do have demo areas where you can run a vacuum over things like cereal and dust on different carpet types. The bigger issue is that many brands probably avoid hands-on testing because it also reveals downsides such as noise, weight, and how difficult the machine is to push. A standardized vacuum competition, with every brand tackling the same mess in the same room, would make comparisons much easier.
