I can select vertices too in edit mode, but it won't show any sign that I have them selected. This happens both in blender 2.90.0 alpha hash: 23cc2a2628 and in blender 2.83.1.
Also, in wireframe view, only the outer bounding box is shown. If you turn off overlays after checking the "hidden wire" option (in screenshot), then nothing is shown.

It also seems that simply unchecking everything in the overlays menu without actually turning off overlays still shows the wireframe.

A developer should triage it

@fclem Is this working as it should? Looks inconsistent, but I am not sure.

This is a papercut. We hide the wireframes in edit mode because we draw the edit edges on top. But in this case, the edit mode cage is not drawn and thus there is nothing displayed.
