Hmm yes I can see it used for that. However, that will only work for simple passive pages. "view cache" is inherently incompatible with pages that render from javascript (or that make extra requests to get the content). These get broken, and as a growing amount of sites is affected this might be another one of the reasons for obscuring the option.

Pages that render from javascript or make extra requests to get the content were broken already. They fail REST and thus they're not easily cacheable. We shouldn't encourage them outside of those specific web apps for which linking is not a relevant operation.
