These functions are not part of what would be a controller or model layer in MVC. This code is not dealing with routing, fetching, managing state or rendering. They are merely gluing complex data coming from these other parts of the system into what is the view layer here. The logical separation still exists!

Sure OP could reimplement all of them by hand, but ultimately it doesn't matter: the code is still properly separated in the way you're mentioning. Libraries like those are free to have functions operating in multiple concerns, as long as the logical separation still exists, which it does.
