Every time BMI is mentioned someone brings up this point. I sometimes wonder if it is mostly an opportunity to humblebrag about how much time they spend in the gym and "Dude, I am 6' tall, weigh 240 lbs and have 3% body fat but the BMI says I'm obese. See, the BMI is bullshit." Yes, there are individuals for whom the BMI metric is spectacularly bad, a modest percentage for whom it is simply poor, but those people already know they aren't obese. At a population level, the BMI metric is just fine.
