The reason people pay millions for a window and a little altitude.

means What you can see from a particular spot, or the way you look at and think about something.

from From Old French 'veüe,' meaning a sight or a seeing, rooted in the verb 'veoir' (to see) — which traces back to Latin 'videre,' to see. That same Latin 'videre' fathered a whole family: 'vision,' 'video,' 'evident,' 'review.' So a 'view' is, quite literally, a thing-that-has-been-seen, frozen into a noun.
