Well, it's a matter of definitions. What means it's a completely useless and dumb question, but also that the majoritarian opinion on the relevant context is a fact.

That said, I don't think I've seen MVC used with the same meaning twice... what makes the question even worse.

MVC is like OOP - it means different things to different people in different contexts, and they often contradict each other.

Apple's definition of MVC specifically contradicts the Wikipedia definition for MVC that OP gives.

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Ge...

The current Wikipedia content on multitier vs MVC is quite vague.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture

I think "correct" is a reach here.

Stock CRUD multitier should not be confused with MVC, nor vice versa.

A company that doesn't understand the differences is a Red Flag.
