Is this bug related to Nuxt or Vue?

Nuxt

Package

v4.x

Version

4.6.1

Reproduction

Newly app, just installed modules and have only altered the app.vue:

<template>
  <UApp>
    <NuxtPage />
  </UApp>
</template>
Description

It seems that everything gets loaded resulting in very slow DX for developing anything:

Additional context

I understand that this might be related to #3376 but this must be fixed because it negatively impacts productivity and the experience working with Nuxt UI

Research direction

Start with the fresh-app reproduction and the app.vue shown in the issue, then inspect the development build output to identify why all installed modules are loaded. Compare the startup and module-loading behavior with and without the listed modules; done means a minimal Nuxt UI app no longer loads unnecessary functionality or suffers the reported development slowdown.
