There are athletes with single digit body fat % who have BMI in the obese and morbidly obese categories.
BMI is too simplistic, doesn’t account for frame size or muscle mass.

That's true but it works for the majority, who aren't athletes or very short or very tall. I'm almost 6'7 and am constantly around the 25 mark, after covid with 217 lbs now below ;) there's a better bmi for tall people and there's one that takes body fat percentage into account. 22.6-24.6 here depending on the method.
