Those examples are very very simple. I have worked on quite a big Vue app. Some pages became very very repetitive, and there is no way to remove this other than use mixins. And mixing are evil.
On other project we started from scratch with Vue3 and composition api. It's much easier to work with. You don't need to scroll across document to find data section or computed values. All required parts can be placed together.

The problem is not in options API, but in the general architecture, if you have repetitive components, it just means that components have to be a single one with some options, or some basic components and some that extend them. I have quite large Vue 2 projects and never had problems like this. Actually this is why I prefer Vue over React. With composition API there is no point in Vue at all, it becomes not much different from React.

Why is mixing evil? You could create:

my_mixin_only_for_my_component_because_i_dont_like_scrolling_and_prefer_opening_another_file.js and mix it in.

But these are all just opinions of course. Having worked with very complex ui's both in vue and react I still prefer vue2's way of organising code.
