a dedicated monkey spawner for security feels kinda redundant

I never said they get one.. just WHY they should have access to them.
This is about monkey vendor access and why.
Not: "having a vendor themselves"

Eh easily distinguishable vendors are kind of important. A monkey vendor in genetics should look like a monkey vendor in kitchen just to keep things simple for new players.
I think a minor marking such as a colored stripe would be good.

Scientist also use the monkey vendor to borg monkeys into bots.

its better to monkey clone some antags instead of borging them, giving sec monkey vendor access would let security ensure that the antag is monkey cloned and not borged by a roboticist that sees a spare brain on the floor.

If your talking about antags like changeling, you are better off just borging them, making them a monkey does not make it they are no longer an antag.

I was about to say cloning doesn't remove antag status as far as I am aware. Borging does. Better to borg.

Technically it does not as a borg ether, but with there law set, its assumed they can't do any antag things

Splitting hairs there but yes thats true. There are indeed scenarios where you can borg to hilariously unfortunate results.

cloning people out of bodies with abils is mostly a classic thing with wizards
not that that matters much here now, I look forward to the reduction in monkey uprisings.
Except in genetics, never change, genetics.
