Creating a view with the Python API does not honor the settings of an existing hosted feature service that are preserved in the JSON. Settings configured in the Visualization tab in ArcGIS Online for field values like "visible": true/false and general layer info like "popupinfo" that are configured in an existing service do not carry down to views that are created with the ".manager.create_view" module in the Python API. These settings ARE carried through when the view is created manually in ArcGIS Online.
