I have met the same issue as yours, and it is because my Nodejs version is too low (node12) which does not support vue>=3.3.

This exception happens when vue-loader tries to require vue/compiler-sfc, and since the ?. syntax is not supported by node12, the "require" action will throw an Error. This exception description says like "requires vue (>=3.2.13) or @vue/compiler-sfc", but this reason is not correct actually.
