Why does Apple say iPhone apps use MVC?

Question

Apple describes the architectural pattern used by iPhone apps as MVC. However, virtually no modern application uses MVC (as described by Trygve Reenskaug). Modern operating systems, including iPhone OS, inherently handle controller responsibilities. What is mistakenly and commonly referred to as MVC is actually MVP.

Why does Apple say MVC and not MVP?

Answer 1

Because they'd rather not cause confusion by being pedants? :-)
