Vercel isn't a competitor to Nuxt. Vercel benefits from allowing any frontend framework to be deployed on their service.

All you have to look at is Svelte, which Vercel hired all the developer of, and that turned out to be a great thing. Svelte and SvelteKit are better than ever and nothing they have done since has shown to be forced by Vercel.

Vercel benefits from moving as much of the logic to the server (their paid services) as possible.

Vercel benefits from not letting other, better, cheaper architectures like Cloudflare Workers get better treatment than them from popular framework authors.

That holds true now. Tomorrow, when they can steer the direction of all frameworks, they—and their investors by extension—might notice that Next projects generate the most revenue on average. Now they have an incentive to favor Next; not even by outright harming the other frameworks, but maybe by strategic neglect. Maybe a new web platform feature is first supported here, while integrations stall elsewhere; maybe the backlog is sorted differently; it doesn’t matter.

The point is that you’re just seeing business strategy aligned with our interest, but that can, and will, change.

No, I agree in principle. Letting Vercel functionally own the roadmaps for the "best" frameworks in the ecosystem is dangerous bordering on stupid.
