I've never noticed any sort of voseo in any of the sort of people I

No doubt the autors of the article know more than I do, and take
account of a broader range of people than those I know, so I'll just
repeat: I've never heard "vos" in Chile --

Literally no 'vos', or also no to-vos-belonging verb forms?

a big contrast with
Montevideo, say, where one can hardly spend 30 minutes without hearing
"vos".

I know them only from old-fashioned Argentinian Spanish, in tango
songs, where there was also literally no vos, due to Spanish being
pro-drop, but I did notice "Que falta que me hacés", which has puzzled
me for years, thinking it should be "haces", but it clearly isn't;
because Wikipedia wasn't as comprehensive 15 or 20 years ago as it is
now, or maybe I didn't properly look it up.

I love the song, especially in this version:
