Definitely can't sometimes. I prefer initializing properties directly like `let mtlView = MTLView()` rather than have an IUO and init in viewDidLoad if possible.

Lazy properties are a great option too
Gives you the deferred loading you usually want in VCs, while still getting rid of "Non-optional optionals":
lazy var mltView = MTLView() -
I have, over the past four years, developed a rather nuanced opinion about this, I think. Obj-C is probably too lax about this. But Swift is definitely too strict about it, in ways that are distracting and detrimental.
