BMI is still good tool but you need to understand it first. If you do lot of sports it is not really useful, but if you want rough estimate how fat ”normal” person is only using height and weight, then it is useful tools.
Of course if you just look the number but not the person you might get wrong idea, but it does not make it bad tool.
Not every place have body fat measuring equipment and cheap ones give totally wrong readings.
I feel like you said it’s still good and then listed several reasons why it isn’t good. Just looking at the number and not the person is exactly why BMI isn’t a good tool. You talk about cheap body fat measuring tools being bad because of totally wrong results while saying BMI measurements can be wrong as well.
