While you are right, I think a lot MORE people will be in for disappointment if/when body fat percentage is used
Unlike on the internet, there aren't a bunch of low-key muscular people walking around, least of all women All that's likely to happen is all the currently obese people will be when their doc says "you're 45% body fat" and there are no more "I just carry a lot of muscle" excuses.
Worse still, all the "do no exercise but don't look overweight" skinny-fats will be in for a rude awakening when they find out they're clinically obese Docs will be ethering people when they bust out the calipers
