BMI has been antiquated for like 15+ years, so my guess is it’ll change when they die
Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index

Now tell the doctors because as recently as this year one that I went to was talking about BMI.

It’s not doctors that need to know. It’s the insurance companies. They wrote the policies that pay doctors based on the BMI metric. Until those policy changes happen nothing will change.
Insurance companies quietly control so much and most people don’t realize it.
