The major problem with this tutorial is that it doesn't cover single file components (https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/single-file-components.html) at all, which are superior to (and preferred to) implementing string based render functions (which rely on a runtime template compiler). Indeed, the Vue NPM package doesn't even provide the runtime template compiler by default. Stuff like what the article promotes are great for development if you just want to include a file, but are clunkier than the way that you're actually supposed to do things.

Why would anybody do that? Maybe only when you charge by hour it makes sense because making something more complicated than Todo list is a struggle.

Turns out it's mentioned lower down, but the focus of the article is still on Vue.component, which really shouldn't be the case.

It's been eighteen months guys, time to rewrite all our front end code from scratch!

What are good examples of popular websites (not behind a login) that make use of Vue or React?

I ask because I keep reading about it, all programmers seem to use it, but I just don't come across websites that use it. Is it only used for backend dashboards? Or do all Vue/React sites fail to gain traction for some reason?

Mobile Twitter uses React. https://mobile.twitter.com/facebook

Airbnb uses React https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/432044

Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Netflix, Reddit Mobile, new Reddit Profile pages are all high profile sites using React that aren't just 'backend dashboards'.

Reddit's new profile pages and their mobile web app both use react.

I have (some) experience with both React and Vue 2 and definitely prefer the later. Vue is very minimalistic but unlike React provides a lot of functionality out of the box. Stuff like the router, the computed properties, automatic change detection, HTML templates, scoped css, animations, ... . But what's more important is the fact it does all these things in an extremely elegant and unobtrusive way. The computed properties are an often overlooked but good example of this. You simply declare an object property that is dependent upon other properties and voila, that's it. It's there in your component together with the rest of your data for you to use in your template. It gets memoized, it gets change detection, it just works (TM). No need for Redux, Reselect, selector functions or any of those things. I love the simplicity of this approach. And this is just an example, but this very minimalistic approach applies to everything that Vue offers.
