I'd argue the problem is gatekeeping access to medicine, since I don't think this is unique to CPAP. It should be easy to get in to a doctor, receive a test and diagnosis for sleep apnea (or anything), and proceed to treatment. Regulation is an after effect of the system. Maybe sane defaults are good most of the time, but no-one should be in a spot where they have to rely on defaults for care.
