Morphology
The phrase is transparently compositional: 'myopic' (short-sighted, narrow in perspective) combined with 'view' (opinion) yields 'a narrow or short-sighted opinion', which is directly derivable from the constituents. The metaphorical use of 'myopic' is conventional and parallels equivalents in many languages, so a learner who knows both words can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Myopic view uses myopic, meaning 'short-sighted', and view to paint a picture of someone who can only see things up close. So, a myopic view means 'a narrow perspective' that misses long-term effects or the bigger picture.
