I hate to be the one to ask but what exactly is this and what was it made for?

It's a more than decent alternative to libraries like Angular or React for building web interfaces. I've followed a few tutorials and find it really inspiring. I hope it catches on.

I know what vue is but what exactly is a Java spring starter?

It's integration for java.

Simple starter where Vue.js workflow work great with java application.

My company has been building newer internal apps with Vue.js for the past few months. Its been fantastic so far.

Large companies have used this because, like Ractive, with which it kind of competes, you can produce something very quickly (Ractive was initially developed for internal news room use). Alibaba used Vue for Singles day, Nintendo for its forum, etc. Using it for quick-turnaround work is a breeze.
