Hi,
I think you're correct, this class should be obsoleted, especially the EntryView and NodeView are now totally obsolete - in 7.5 we switched to CMS-style page view and not recommend the old "DisplayTemplate" way anymore. I believe it was introduced to provide some "standardized way" to set some specific page settings for Commerce, but it provides very little value now.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'll file a bug for that.
Regards.
