Vuex is simpler than Redux. First you don't have to grasp the Container/Component pattern. Second you have less middleware ("what, you don't use redux-saga and redux-think?").

Vue and Vuex seem less clever JS (shiny es6 features), less clever programming (mutability etc) which I feel may be a detriment for complex apps in the long term but it is simpler.

(I may be biased because before Vue and React/Redux I did Angular1 & React/Reflux and I view Vue as a Angular/React mix and Vuex is not far from Reflux)

That's not part of Redux, it's a separate design pattern you can use with any Flux architecture. React-Redux doesn't even require you to do it that way, and for good reason: you might not need it. There's nothing wrong with just importing a store reference wherever you want it. That's a totally reasonable pattern for some applications.

This illustrates my point I guess. There's so many people thinking about how to architect and implement React applications that there's a lot of cargo-culting.

That's not part of Redux, maybe, but it's very prominent in the official tutorial in the basic section : https://redux.js.org/docs/basics/UsageWithReact.html
