Comment (by dd32):

 3 years later, this is a Core bug.

 The WordPress.org plugins api does send the embeds, but core `wp_kses`
 strips them out.

 If you have Jetpack Active, it appears that you see a `[vimeo]` shortcode
 instead.

 The first plugin I found which uses a Vimeo embed is
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/ Updraft plus], you'll see the
 iframe code in the
 [https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.1/?action=plugin_information&request[slug]=updraftplus
 API response] but not within WordPress's plugin info page.

 The core wp_kses in question strips the embed down from this
 {{{
 <div class="embed-vimeo" style="text-align: center;">
 <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/154870690" width="640"
 height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen
 allowfullscreen></iframe>
 </div>
 }}}

 to {{{ <div class="embed-vimeo"></div> }}}
