@mikemccaffrey@drupal.community I totally understand, and we have many times also experienced the same unwanted deletion of views.
One could pitch a "soft dependency" concept to core. I believe that many modules could implement a kind of "remove soft dependencies of the following dependants", which for views would be to remove these fields from the SELECT statement.
However, If the view had relationships or filters dependent on certain fields, the case is no longer clear and manual resolve is required.

@martinsdahl@ohai.social It would be annoying, but perhaps the solution is to not allow you to delete a field until you remove it from all the dependencies.
