As a user, I think you have two factors going on here: 1) They work. They help a LOT of people. It's just really hard to argue against "getting more oxygen and waking up less when you sleep." 2) They're horribly and outrageously gatekept. I'm sure I'm going to hear from many people who say you have to be careful because they're medical equipment -- and having used them for literal decades, I just don't believe that (as in, compared to what other dangerous medical stuff you can get OTC, obviously there's SOME hazards, just not enough to justify this level of gatekeeping.) I would love to see what this industry could look like if you just let people get them OTC; I strongly predict you'd get across the board better and cheaper results with minimal danger to patients.
