pretty sure the people who would do the mvc would have 100% pass rate on bc and majority earning 5’s.



That would be in the beginning, but look at it from a historical perspective. A lot of students don’t take ab and jump straight to bc. Unless bc is an explicit pre-requisite to mvc, eventually kids will go straight into that, and having to learn 3 semesters of math in 1 or 2 semesters is a daunting task.

Also, you misinterpreted what I wrote. I said that if they exam were proof-based, then a lot of kids would fail. Testing MVC how they test ab/bc, however, would not reflect the depth of knowledge that a student should have for the course.
