Why vue use 'views' but nuxt use 'pages'

[s3xysteak]

When creating a Vue project using pnpm create vue, a folder named 'views' is generated. However, in Nuxt projects created with the nuxi, a similar folder is named 'pages'. Are there any reasons behind this distinction, and are there specific purposes or conventions associated with each folder name?

I don't think think there's a deeper meaning behind it except that "views just matches <router-view>, so components in that folder are views for the router, and nuxt maybe wanted something distinct from that as it does a lot more magic with file-based routing.
