View defined layers (tought openlayers data) do not have a title defined, and can't be edited from
the openlayers Layers UI to add one.

The resulting effect is that the layer manager shows just a checkbox for them, with no name/title/description.

Views defined layers acquire their titles from the views themselves, and editing them in the views UI is being addressed in #805796: Limit the display of features per zoom levels., but likely the direction of that ticket will be reversed and the views themselves will contain settings.

I'm fine with no editing the layer from the Layers form.
The report was just about a missing title.

I did try using the view but didn't work. Should that be the view's "Title" in the basic settings of the OpenLayers Data display ?

As of today, setting the 'Title' for the view creating the layer works fine.
Dunno if I missed doing it before or was experiencing a bug.
If it happens again I'll file a proper bug.

Maybe a word on that (setting view Title) in the tutorial would help
