> vectors in a context where they certainly can be of varying magnitudes
Some vectors can vary in magnitude with time, yes. But rotating your coordinate system does not change the magnitude of any vector in Euclidean space. A Lorentz transformation is the spacetime analogue of rotating your coordinate system, and similarly does not change the magnitude of any vector.
