No, for the same reason it is not sensible to call a subset of $\Bbb R^n$ which is a $\Bbb Q$ vector space an "subspace of $\Bbb R^n$. Lots of stuff would break down, most obviously dimension theorems.
For both vector $F$ vector spaces and $F$-algebras, it's implied that the subobjects inherit the same operation of scaling with elements of $F$.
