Is there anything meaningfully different between a site made up of a number of discrete single page apps and one built with Vue?

Sure! Multiple discrete single page apps are simpler to develop and maintain, especially for apps that have a lot of dependence on the backend. IMO it promotes a healthy (aka obvious) separation of concerns and provides flexibility. A UI framework like Vue helps us cut a lot of corners when we need to, but no doubt, not every problem needs to be solved using the framework, the ability to retreat to vanilla when you can is hugely underrated IMO, especially given the _promising_ future of vanilla.
You would need vue-router (or equivalent) for the latter, which can be "meaningful" depending on the app.
