It has not been proven to be a flawed metric at all. That’s just BS from the “body positive” movement which thinks that telling people it is OK to be morbidly obese and put yourself at much greater risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, stroke, and death to be “positive”
Are there exceptions like body builders or whatever who don’t fit the mold for BMI? Sure, but the people crying about BMI aren’t bodybuilders. They are morbidly obese people who think they can redefine words to make them feel better about putting their lives at risk due to their weight.
