micromanagement = management (transparent) = micro + manage + ment
The game-strategy sense still comes from the same small-scale control idea expressed by micro- plus management.
Etymology
In gaming, micromanagement uses the same parts: micro- 'small' and manage 'hand', so it means 'handling small units' quickly and precisely. That's why it describes the skill of controlling each unit's actions to gain an advantage in a game.
