Neither does the E9.2-1

$ show system/noproc
OpenVMS E9.2-1  on node SCALZI    5-JUN-2023 08:21:00.83   Uptime  21 08:35:01
$ teco
%DCL-W-IVVERB, unrecognized command verb - check validity and spelling
  \TECO\
$ dir sys$system:*TECO*
%DIRECT-W-NOFILES, no files found


I'm thinking TECO is probably a low priority item.  If Compaq/HP had to VEST and TIE/VEST it then the source must be way out of date and not an easy upgrade.
