To play devil's advocate, you can release both in a hierarchical structure. There's no reason that the component framework can't import a Sass project for it's styling. Then folks who don't want to use Vue can still make use of the styles.

Absolutely. And a number of projects do exactly that.

Bulma -> Buefy Bootstrap -> VueBootstrap, et al.

That said, if you're already using Vue, then a Vue-based framework is more convenient.
