(Disclaimer: I am also not really knowledgeable with the whole React/Vuejs build pipeline, so I might state wrong things. Maybe I should spent some time in the future to look further into the build things)
You are perfectly explaining the approach React is taking: They add their built tool to the prod dependencies. Vue.js has a different approach/philosophy. I might try out your idea with the next project, but it probably won't work. The CLI service actually provides the build command to build the project. There might be a way to do it "light weight" (which I don't know of) but I am not very confident it will work. I am writing my Vue projects with Typescript, so I would need the whole TypeScript dependencies.
But you are right, when you use the approach written in the article, it does not make any sense to have build tools in the dev dependencies. Let's see if I try another solution the next time I use Vue.js on Heroku.
Thanks for raising those valid points!
