I'm pretty sympathetic on the point of being able to hide the NetLogo
View. I think it's kind of backwards that the View is not treated like
all the other widgets, in that they are addable and removable at will.
We definitely know that it's desirable at times to not have a view
widget, and yet the NetLogo application mandates it for some reason.
While the other adjustments to the view widget's top bar that I
mentioned would help in hiding the View, and there are various
workarounds that allow one to make it seem as if the widget weren't
there, I'm very much in favor of proper functionality for simply
removing a view widget from a model. I imagine it working as follows:
* Like before, a view widget is automatically present in new models,
and serves exactly the same role that it always has
* Unlike before, the "Delete" button in the widget menu strip is
enabled (and works) when a view widget is selected, and there is a
"Delete" menu item when you right-click a view widget (like with all
of the other kinds of widgets)
* Unlike before, you can add a new view widget to your model, but only
if there isn't one already (like with output widgets)
I went looking through our issue tracker to see if a ticket already
existed for this problem. Sure enough, it
did<https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/issues/681>, in the form of a
ticket created by me a year ago
<https://github.com/NetLogo/NetLogo/issues/681>, proposing this same
thing, in response to a previous request for this from you.
As you can see on the ticket, this issue is also now targeted for the
next major release of NetLogo (alongside the aforementioned plot
error-handling fixes and view widget top bar tune-up).

What about the issue of hiding the view?
