I don't think this is true, primarily because of the number of large companies getting behind React and contributing to the ecosystem. Also, the difference between Angular and React is much larger (IMO) than the difference between React and Vue, which means there is less incentive to move to Vue if you already know React because the latter is Good Enough™.

On the other end, Vue is a natural move for companies looking to move off of jQuery and AngularJS but afraid or unwilling to make the move to React, and I suspect there are an order of magnitude more companies in this category than companies that have already adopted React.

I think you are right about the volume of companies in that category, though I think you are underestimating the network effect of a library with as much momentum as React. The libraries are similar enough that, for many (most?) projects, it makes more sense to use the more popular one.
