I am trying to hide the Store View change option by overriding vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/adminhtml/layout/catalog_product_edit.xml and commenting out like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
/**
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
-->
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <update handle="catalog_product_new"/>
    <update handle="styles"/>
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="page.title">
            <action method="setTitleClass">
                <argument name="class" xsi:type="string">complex</argument>
            </action>
        </referenceBlock>
        <!--
        <referenceContainer name="page.main.actions">
            <block class="Magento\Backend\Block\Store\Switcher" name="store_switcher">
                <action method="setUseConfirm">
                    <argument name="params" xsi:type="string">1</argument>
                </action>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer> -->
    </body>
</page>

It works if I comment this section directly from the vendor module. But, since it is not a good practice I tried to override it via following this instructions: How can i override this vendor layout file with my custom layout file in magento 2?

but it is not working for me. Please help.

UPDATE

There is the custom module I created:

registration.php

    <?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    'Company_CatalogProduct',
    __DIR__
);

etc>module.xml

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Company_CatalogProduct" setup_version="1.0">
    <sequence>
            <module name="Magento_Catalog"/>
        </sequence>

        </module>
</config>

view>adminhtml>layout>catalog_product_edit.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
/**
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
-->
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <update handle="catalog_product_new"/>
    <update handle="styles"/>
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="page.title">
            <action method="setTitleClass">
                <argument name="class" xsi:type="string">complex</argument>
            </action>
        </referenceBlock>
        <!--
        <referenceContainer name="page.main.actions">
            <block class="Magento\Backend\Block\Store\Switcher" name="store_switcher">
                <action method="setUseConfirm">
                    <argument name="params" xsi:type="string">1</argument>
                </action>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer> -->
    </body>

Instead of this, you can simply create 1 xml file with below code in your custom module.

view/adminhtml/layout/catalog_product_edit.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="page.main.actions">
            <referenceBlock name="store_switcher" remove="true" />
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

Using this, you can achieve your desired result.

Copy that file and place it in custom module: app/code/<vendor>/<module>/view/adminhtml/layout/catalog_product_edit.xml

and do not forget to add sequence in etc/module.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="CutstomModule" >
        <sequence>
            <module name="Magento_Catalog"/>
        </sequence>
    </module>
</config>
