I think the idea of vortex generators is that as the swirling cone of air expands, it matches the contour of the rear window glass, so more air actually stays attached to the car.

Vortex generators glued halfway down the bootlid would do little to nothing, except maybe increase the drag a little bit. I don't think they would have been CFD tested so they are just expensive coathangers for now.
