Should WordPress consider how much influence we’ll have in a project?

The concept of "influence" seems to have different definitions for different people - some folks are referring to the ability to get the project maintainer to do work for them, some are referring to how well the project accepts contributions. Some are referring to the ability to strongly push the direction of the project, some are referring to how project leadership integrates feedback into the grander visions.

All of the major JS libraries take on feedback quite well, but I would hesitate to demand that WordPress' interests are given priority. In some respects, we're still gaining our feet in the JavaScript world, and framework architecture is a complex topic that we may not necessarily have the full picture on.

So, to answer your question: yes, it is important that a library be interested in our feedback, but it's not at all a factor that we be able to push the library in a particular direction.

Is it a plus that Vue’s creator wants to embrace the community?

Certainly, these kinds of close ties make it much easier for us to work together, contextually useful feedback is always better than general feedback. That said, I would expect any of the major libraries to be open to creating these ties, I'd love to see involvement from a bunch of different libraries in the framework agnosticism work.
