I think your opinion is valid from your point of view but missing an important part of the bigger picture.
Obese people typically do not try to become obese. Most obese people have tried to lose weight and find that they lack the tools and skills needed to succeed, and many of the ones that do succeed only do so temporarily.
Why is that?
It's a question with no simple answer, and no single answer.
Evolutionary biological drive to acquire calories.
Psychological dependency on food.
Inability to differentiate satisfaction from "being stuffed", likely due to environmental factors like negative education as a child or poverty mindset in parents.
The perceived difficulty of altering diets for longevity.
Self-hate.
I'm sure there are scores more reasons for this, and no single concept or mindset is large enough to fully accurately embody the breadth of reasons why people remain obese in a world that actively disincentivizes obesity in every measure of life satisfaction.
People outside of that fail to empathize with the plight of obese people. They blame them for living a life that is generally unintentionally thrust upon them.
They do not see obesity as a disease but as a choice and then mock or dismiss them for being obese, even though by all metrics it is a disease.
People tell obese people to diet like they tell alcoholics to quit drinking or drug addicts to quit using drugs and honestly believe their words have contributed value to humanity, but unlike drug addicts or alcohol, there is no cold turkey for obesity other than death.
People must eat. That includes obese people.
If you can figure out a way for a crackhead to smoke crack 3 times a day until they feel satisfied with how much crack they have smoked without remaining a crackhead, then you might be able to figure out how to get an obese person to eat 3 meals a day until they feel satisfied without remaining obese.
Bingo. The attitude that people have failed just because they didn't will it enough is ridiculous to me. Plenty of people have tried hard to lose weight. But plenty of them have failed not because of will, but other factors. This is decades long! Having something that can help them is great!
