The reason MVC got so abused was because of RAD frameworks: rapid application development. Most of this started with visual basic.

Basically, the thinking was to let the programmer design the view and then implement the code-behind. I'll spare you from my rants about this, but it was popular.

Nowadays, with vibe coding, there is no need to use obtuse design patterns for the sake of RAD. Sensible architectures can easily by used by LLMs without sacrificing engineer or designer agility.
