There are all sorts of pre-emptive bids out there.
Weak twos, Gambling 3N, Bergen raises to 1M, etc.
Are we taking vulnerability into account for all of them?

Are you speaking about the general bridge population? If so I would say not adequately

When it comes to preempts, vulnerability is like GRAVITY, you can't possibly ignore it or you hurt yourself.

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

I wouldn't consider 1♠ - 3♦ a preemptive call.
