You're correct that anyone who wants a test can get one (or, if you're wrong, I'm wrong, too). But that's a very different thing from the kind of frequent, high-volume testing we'd need to actually understand what's going on with COVID-19. There's a serious selection bias at play here when the only people who are ACTUALLY getting tested are those who suspect they might have been exposed or are showing symptoms.
