Here's my put simply:

We've got some UI components built with html, CSS and JavaScript. They use web standards.

We want to add them into web frameworks that are built in JavaScript. They are built for html, CSS and JavaScript.

No need to overcomplicate things.

And for a universal component library I'll happily accept 7kb extra overhead in my 4mb React slop website

But the data binding part isn't the same across frameworks. In Vue you have v-model, in React it's props and so on. The way you build a custom Select Dropdown, for example, will be very different between the two.

Sure, the actual HTML/CSS parts will be identical, but the JS portion is the issue here, because frameworks simply handle things differently there. In Vue you have reactive proxies getting passed around and a custom event system, whereas in React it's all objects and methods passed around as props.
