Having "View Mode" appear in the right click menu is by design and is not likely to be removed. This is for a few reasons.
1. The top menus can be hidden with Ctrl + M, but users may still want to easily change views
2. Other menus are also duplicated in the right click menu, such as Sort By, for discoverability or ease of use.

I don't see what value it would bring to users to remove this.
