This frames it a lot as a competition; it really isn't. Facebook Open Source is a contributor to Vue. I think it just resonates with the community that this is a Patreon-backed, very community-driven project, whereas React has Facebook behind it, and Facebook has been controversial. Not that that has much to do with React itself-- if anything it means it probably scales well. Either that, or it's another iOS vs Android situation, where people just like picking teams.
