Why does Garmin use trash data measures?

Why does Garmin use a trash measure such as BMI in the metrics. And a response of it being “the accepted standard” will reveal poor judgement by Garmin. The accepted standard of human behavior is sit on the couch and eat cheeseburgers. You’re better than this Garmin!

You can also use Body Fat%, if you prefer, but that one cannot be calculated automatically like the BMI. You either have to have an Index scale connected to your account, or a 3rd party scale connected over MyFitnessPal, or you have to enter the Body Fat% values manually (with a simple CSV file).
