I quoted directly from the article. MVP is built after the hypothesis testing, but it’s still a test, a test of the independent hypotheses combined into a material product.

I think the point is that the P is not necessary if the T's fail. So, you're creating a stop loss for your time/money/blood/sweat/tears

> I quoted directly from the article.

You did, but your quote comes directly after he said:

"Once you’ve finally tested enough hypotheses to have more confidence about your product viability, then go to the next steps:"

The MVP is the next step and it distinctly different from what he calls an MTP.

An MTP is not a useable product, it doesn't have a login, stack or maybe any code at all.
