Overriding core layout XML located in "base" not in "frontend"

Question

I want to remove tier_price from vendor/magento/module-configurable-product/view/base/layout/catalog_product_prices.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
/**
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.

 */
-->
<layout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/layout_generic.xsd">
<referenceBlock name="render.product.prices">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="configurable" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="prices" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="tier_price" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="render_class" xsi:type="string">Magento\ConfigurableProduct\Pricing\Render\TierPriceBox</item>
                    <item name="render_template" xsi:type="string">Magento_ConfigurableProduct::product/price/tier_price.phtml</item>
                </item>
                <item name="final_price" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="render_class" xsi:type="string">Magento\ConfigurableProduct\Pricing\Render\FinalPriceBox</item>
                    <item name="render_template" xsi:type="string">Magento_ConfigurableProduct::product/price/final_price.phtml</item>
                </item>
            </item>
        </argument>
    </arguments>
</referenceBlock>

Since the <remove> layout instruction doesn't work on elements other than blocks or containers, I have no choice but to override the whole layout file in my theme.

Documentation says:

Override base layouts

To add an overriding base layout file (to override a base layout provided by the module):

Put a layout file with the same name in the following location:

<theme_dir>/Namespace_Module/layout/override/base/<layout1>.xml

This file override the following layouts:

/view/frontend/layout/<layout1>.xml

The above assumes the layout file to override is in the frontend folder. Mine is not. Where do I put my override layout? I could not find anything in the documentation.

I tried app/design/frontend/<theme_name>/default/Magento_ConfigurableProduct/layout/override/base/catalog_product_prices.xml that returns an error of course, as it tries to find the original in frontend:

Exception #0 (LogicException): Overriding view file '/var/www/vhosts/sitename/local/app/design/frontend//default/Magento_ConfigurableProduct/layout/override/base/catalog_product_prices.xml' does not match to any of the files.

Try this..

Create file in your theme as below :

app/design/frontend/[VendorName]/[theme]/Magento_ConfigurableProduct/layout/catalog_product_prices.xml.
