Presumably if you're materializing a view, you have to have a cache for speed — it's either this or ElasticSearch or Redis. For me, where possible, it's nice to have a correct cache a `REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW` away instead of needing to make sure your cache book-keeping is perfect with other solutions.

But yes, you're right that this is caching, with all associated pitfalls.
