It’s because a view doesn’t necessarily make a landscape photograph. If you spot a view it’s a good idea to scout the location and think how the scene could be shot (the composition), the direction (EWSN), what the weather’s doing and the time of day. All these factors come in to make a great shot.

I used to take my camera out at lunchtime. If you have an hour you can scoff your food quickly, then go out depending on where you work. The sunrise also isn’t a bad idea especially if you live in the countryside. It’s an advantage already. This is easier in winter as the sunrise is later and you get some cracking skies. I used to take my wife to work and then go from there to a local view point. Did some great panoramas of burning red sunrise skies. It’s possible while still working etc.
I got one this year and was helped to it by the Olympus 12-40 pro. In 2021 I had more, being helped by opportunity, the weather and the Samyang 7.5mm. I got a very nice portrait shot this year. In 2022 I didn’t get any. In 2021 I had more opportunity and I got more. The weather was fab.
