Since CREATE ... OR REPLACE  is literally: "if exists, drop and create, else, create",

It’s specifically saying “replace the query used for the view without changing the view signature/type”.  Same goes for create or replace function.  The point being the signature is public and cannot be changed on the fly but the implementation can be replaced.
