Views in Drupal core initiative

The Views module has been a contributed module up until Drupal 8. In fact, it was one of the most used modules. Although the module is now part of Drupal core, it still has many improvements that are needed, and are being committed.

Through their 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 releases, there have been many improvements. We will continue to see this pattern with each future minor release.
