Hoy many men and women are muscular nowadays though? Also bodybuilders (the majority of muscular men) are very unathletic. I get your point 100%, but athletic people over BMI 25 are not that big of a population.

Obesity or in other words waist fatness is a risk, not BMI alone.

Explanations

. Waist fatness is the scientific answer, believe me

. If your waist is over 90 cm you are fat

99% of the population is not muscular. Reality is not like instagram where everybody is going to the gym all day. Even high level athletes in soccer for example are considered fat over 24 BMI. Germany national team is at 23.2 BMI and all pros are in the 23. Over that you get to a special program and get called a fatass.

Gym rats might not look fat with a BMI over 25 (even though they are) and some sports require more muscles but it's anecodotical nationwide. The general population is gonna look overweight past 25 with very apparent bodyfat, which is obviously why they use this standard.

If it were to include overfat the numbers would be higher. Overfat meaning excess body fat that can impair health. Many people under 25 bmi still have excess body fat.
