Does this actually make sense? A MVP is not necessarily for customers and can be for business usage. If it would be a product sold to (private) people, like you describe with MLP, then you would also try to develop a solution, which kinda satisfies the expectations. I do not see a big difference here or any reason to name it different.
Another point to disagree: "I come from a software background, and I think having MLP in place forces us to think about the architecture well in advance. We know our customer needs and challenges are and we can plan our architecture accordingly. ". If this is about software architecture, how does this even relate to the customer needs?
I like your article and how you asked for opinions! Feel free to correct my words!
