On: A short introduction to the MVVM-C design pattern

Convention does have its merits, though. Knowing a pattern makes reading and writing code much easier.

So having structured, known ways to decouple views (or every other component for that matter) is valuable.

I don't disagree with what you're saying. But there are patterns where there's the View and ... everything else. It's a perfectly valid way of organizing code (for, admittedly, simpler code bases).
