Hmm, no downvote but I kinda disagree with this. There's a lot of subjectivity with such things, but I don't specifically there is with "view". It's for a web app which outputs HTML etc to a page, i.e. what someone "views". A HTTP API doesn't have a view surely? If it did, wouldn't it be a web app with an internal API for something. I think MVC is not ideal for HTTP APIs, use ADR or something else, or just have some DIRs that suit, "MVC" doesn't even cover "R, S" - "Repository" or "Service" and I'm sure your API has those.
