IDK why it would say that, I’m a native speaker and the two terms have different meanings. Short-sightedness refers to not planning for long-term problems.
Edit: looking at what comes up in search, I see it showing up that way. I guess words change if we use them incorrectly for long enough. I’d be awfully confused if someone started talking about my short-sightedness as anything other than a flaw in my problem-solving abilities.
