Users are not necessarily human - they can be search engines, API consumers, etc.
Quote from the inventor of MVC, Trygve Reenskaug:
"The essential purpose of MVC is to bridge the gap between the human user's mental model and the digital model that exists in the computer."

And you are not a human user, you are an engineer.
I am most certainly a human user.
Maybe there is some significant difference, but you haven't outlined one other than "it's not what person X says MVC means".
