I do not suggest using implementors/entityViewComponent to wrap gameobjects. This will 9 times out 10 lead to confusion and consequent abandonment of the ECS pattern.

You have two options:
you create the gameobjects from loaded prefabs at run time, so it's easy at that point to have a factory and a resource manager injected
OR
you scan the scene and look for gameobjects having particular monobehaviours to mark them as gameobjects for entities.
