   > My rationale is that converting from Utf8View --> Utf8 is not free.
   
   it is not
   but transmitting non-compacted string views isn't free either.
   
   also, we're transitioning from a state where DF didn't use string views 
(eager compaction) to a state where DF uses string views (deferred compaction). 
Thus, if we convert to non-view types on output, we do not risk regressing 
anything. And we can revisit later whether returning view types could be _an 
improvement_ (and introduce a flag, if needed & worth it).
