WTH can't we move or copy views between dashboards

We have the ability to copy and move cards between views and dashboards, but there is no non-yaml way of doing the same with an entire view in a dashboard.

My use case is that a have a admin-only testing dashboard to experiment with different view and card configurations. Then when I am satisfied I move the cards to a visible view.

Surprised this doesn’t have more votes, such a basic feature. It’s very cumbersome to have to to copy the whole dashboard, copy entities one by one or use yaml just to use an exiting View as a template.
