The products being sold by vendors that accept these tokens still price their products in real currencies, and I'm assuming they immediately exchange it as soon as the transaction completes.

With that in mind, accepting cryptocurrencies is just a technicality and doesn't reflect any acceptance of it as a real currency.

Are there any vendors who actually price their products in a cryptocurrency?

As a currency sure, but it reflects acceptance as a means of exchange. There are actually big segments of the crypto community who find the latter much more important
