Yea we did some testing and found the same. However, I was asking more about when and why this was introduced by Microsoft (announcement, roadmap, etc.). We don't want this even for people with Edit permissions (which is the default for members) - but unfortunately, it's just appeared across our tenant (we have more than 95k sites).
I don't see any usefulness this change brings. If I've created the view, then I already know how to go in and edit it if required. Why would we want all of our users with Edit permissions to get a link to the view settings - just doesn't make sense - as with a lot of Microsoft updates/new features these days.
