Well stated, I'll keep banging my head until the manual mode it sinks in.
I like the amount of creativity it can provide.

Thanks. And thanks for overlooking my typos - need a spell and grammar checker on here to reduce my faux pas.

After 7 years, I'm too used to FV to switch to Manual 😊

Basically, it's the same as Manual

Fv is maybe "Manual on steroids" or "Manual Plus". It's not quite the same as Manual but it can be used in the same way if one chooses to do so. As you point out, it offers Av and Tv where Manual only affords auto ISO. I enjoyed trying it but chose to force myself to focus on learning 100% manual. There are definitely situations where I would have been better off shooting Fv. Each to their own, and I am glad it is there as it's a fun and good option for those that prefer it.
