They are and do,
However AoA will show you what the wing is doing far more accurately - VG's will enable you to delay the onset of the stall, but AoA shows you when you will stall.

We have AoA on the RV7 and it will consistently stall as the first 'red' disappears - whatever the speed. Speed indication when as slow as most claim, is difficult to measure because of potential instrument errors.
