Thanks, I'm usually the one who has to get on their soapbox to say this. I'm glad I'm not the only one anymore :-)

People are ignorant about conditions they don't have and they want to believe that it won't affect them.
I started noticing clear symptoms of OSA when my BMI was less than 20 and my VO2Max was around 51. That is to say, I was leaner and fitter than most.
I completely agree that they should screen folks routinely.
What's crazy is all the downvoting. Why are people so invested in this idea that BMI is the primary/sole cause of OSA? It's literally killing people and the science is pretty conclusive. It should be one of those screens you take at certain milestone ages like colonoscopies.
