Protagonist not the main character?: Villain Protagonist

Villain Protagonist has this paragraph:

"Keep in mind that there is a difference between "protagonist" and "main character". If the story revolves entirely around the villain's actions (making him/her/it the main character) but is mostly told from someone else's POV, and that someone isn't a villain, then it's not an example of this trope. That someone else might be a Supporting Protagonist or The Ishmael. The Trope Namer for the second one, Moby Dick, offers a good example with Ahab being the dynamic and vengeful main character and Ishmael being the generic protagonist. Frequently, the Villain Protagonist overlaps with a Magnificent Bastard."

But the definition of "protagonist" in both the dictionary AND the The Protagonist trope in this wiki IS "main character". This paragraph must be cut?

So the argument that the paragraph makes is that a first person narrator is automatically the protagonist?

That strikes me as incorrect.

Removed the paragraph. It just makes no sense.
