While I agree that view and controller are typically highly coupled, it
does make sense to separate them as much as possible.

An application may need to represent information in a number of formats,
e.g. PDF, HTML, JSON, YAML and text/plain. You probably want to
separate out the nitty gritty formatting in a different implementatioin
for each with a common base View. That way, the common base is the only
thing that couples tightly with the Controller.

Hope this helps,
