I've never interpreted or heard of anyone interpreting the Viable V of in MVP to be strictly about technical aspects of a product's viability, generally quite the opposite - thus the P being there and standing for Product (and not Project or Program).
The idea seems to straightforwardly be exactly to produce the smallest, quickest, cheapest table stakes to the market to roll the dice for fitness. I'm really surprised to see anyone interpret it any other way and would be surprised to see anyone disregard market fit in the process of ideating on their MVPs.
