I agree with you that these micro-example don't tell much about maintainability, but I think that they still tell many other things. They are so small that is very easy to highlight the differences, for examples.
Probably the largest application now available for a side to side comparison is realworld.io/ (I mention it in the post), but also from that code is hard to estimate maintainability.
Maintainability comparison is for sure an interesting topic that probably need to be approached from a broader point of view like, for example, statically typed languages (like Elm) vs. non-statically typed languages (like Javascript)
