The fundamental difference is that vue and react uses a virtual DOM, which alpine does not. This is important when you consider why alpine exists - IIRC, it was created with LiveWire in mind. In LiveWire, the changes to state run through websockets to the server rather than being held in JS. In this situation you can't use vue or react, because v-dom frameworks need exclusive control over the physical dom.
