Refrigerator Vacuum Compartments

If vacuum packages can keep food fresh for months, why don't refrigerators have vacuum compartments?
Have you ever noticed how many things in the supermarket that can be kept at room temperature for months... but say "refrigerate after opening"? For most of these items, once you break the seal, you need to use the whole package within about a week or it'll become stale.
That's because they were vacuum sealed.
There are many ways to keep food fresh for extended amounts of time. The two most popular ways are refrigeration, and vacuum sealing. So, doesn't it make sense to combine the two?
I realize there are a lot of vacuum sealing systems out there that can create air-tight containers, but I think it would be a lot easier if there was a section in the refrigerator that had a button to remove the air. In a perfect system, it would remove the air from the whole refrigerator, but because the door is so large, it would be tough to insure the seal remains intact, so the next best thing would be to have at least one compartment inside that can be vacuum sealed.
This would be a perfect place to put items that tend to spoil too quickly.
