Let's compare how this is implemented in web browsers. Typing C-b in
Firefox opens a left-side pane that indeed looks like a vertical tab bar.
But it has completely different semantics than the real tab bar.
Clicking on a bookmark opens a web page in a new tab. Clicking on a tab
selects a web page in the existing tab. So bookmarks are not a good example
what the tab bar could be used for. I think in Emacs the most suitable
widget for that is the speed bar.
Of course, we could allow any action for tabs by design, but using them
for bookmarks is a bad idea.
