This sounds very much like Angular 1.

"Some of Vue’s syntax will look very similar to AngularJS (e.g. v-if vs ng-if). This is because there were a lot of things that AngularJS got right and these were an inspiration for Vue very early in its development"

So is it fair to say that Vue is for people that wish Angular had stayed on the V1 path and not diverged to be more like React for V2 onward?

No, I think it would be fairer to say that it's like if AngularJS and React had a child and named it "Vue.js".

Because in the end, Vue.js has stuff in common with React, like the virtual DOM (you don't see this in Angular 2+) and has stuff in common with AngularJS (the good parts).

Don't go thinking you are going to read a biased comparison, the Vue.js vs React section has the blessing from a core React contributor (Dan Abramov): https://github.com/vuejs/vuejs.org/issues/364#issuecomment-2...
