I think this is intended. (Introduced in vitejs/vite@316d7af)
Why do you need access to render function?

Related: vuejs/vue-loader@11e3cb8

[machao7]

i want create alone app in some popup dialog without any dialog's ctx. in this way, app without render function can't render in dialog.

[machao7]

i found a solution like this:

// com.vue
export default {
 ...
}
import myself from "./com.vue";
export const openComponentInDialog = function() {
    openInDialog(myself)
}

[machao7]

the point of this issue is inconsistent behavior between dev and build mode

[sapphi-red]

I looked a bit more closely.
rollup repl

The inconsistent behavior comes from /*#__PURE__*/ and tree-shaking. During dev tree-shaking does not happen.
Here plugin-vue (and also vue-loader for reference) assumes a component to be used only from default export.
Now I am not sure if it is intended to assume like that.
