WordPress does not could post views, and never has.
This has to be added by a plugin or your theme to appear. Even if the counts remain in the database after deactivating the responsible theme or plugin, the column could not appear without the it being active.
Make sure you’ve deactivated every plugin, even if you don’t think it’s the culprit, and try activating a default theme (eg. Twenty Twenty). Also check wp-content/mu-plugins for a “must-use” plugin. These cannot be deactivated and will always run if it is a file in that directory.
If none of that works then somebody has been editing your WordPress install. Do a manual update to make sure you have a clean install.
