I like soft vegetables that melt in the mouth, can air fryers do that?

Nope, personally I have not had that result. I find for that a cast iron enameled dutch oven type pot or slow cooker does that job considerably better. Cook slowly on low heat with the lid on and it seems to soften everything really well.
 
It's weird how I'm getting different replies from another Social Media site.
eg
Lower the temp, extend the time, use the roast function.
An air fryer is just a small oven, nothing more. Would you ordinarily cook vegetables in the oven? If so your dandy, if not stick to the pan and hob and btw if you haven’t already I’d get your sprouts on in time for Xmas.

Looks like a secondary school dinner from the 90s
It does doesn't it. Chips especially look terrible to me, look really unevenly cooked.

As much as I like my air fryer for some stuff I really don't get why some people feel the obsession to try to put anything and everything in one.

Interesting example as in general I loathe boiled Brussel Sprouts, but it is possible to turn them into something actually edible via the air fryer.
 
Did roasted Brussels in the air fryer for our Christmas dinner and they were great. However... shredded Brussels fried up with a bit of bacon was the winner!

I've always cooked mine in the oven. lightly coated in olive oil.


Boiling or steaming them just seems to remove taste

Must admit I haven't been able to get that disturbing image out of my mind. So I made a portion of chips tonight (skin on, hand cut with some olive oil and seasoning) in my air fryer:
