When creating a ISynchronizedViewList (to have a simple list instead of mapping pairs) to ToList() method throws an exception on .ToList().
This only happens when there's actual items in the list.
This forces us to use the underlying ListView or its Filtered member with a Select() to actually copy or iterate the ViewList.
This makes the ViewList a very unreliable IEnumerable, prompting our team to actually never use it.
var sourceList = new ObservableList<int>();
var listView = sourceList.CreateView(x => x);
//Fill the list
sourceList.Add(42);
//This works
var listViewContents = listView.ToList();
var listViewContentsViaFiltered = listView.Filtered.Select(tuple => tuple.View).ToList();
//This throws
var listViewContentsViaViewList = listView.ToViewList().ToList();
