I think obese patients have more severe cases, and are more likely to be diagnosed with apnea. But I believe the majority of adult men have apnea.
If everyone has it but obese people are more likely to have diagnosable symptoms and negative health outcomes then it doesn't seem to alter the main point. Which is that obesity is a major risk factor and contributor to sleep apnea.

My concern is that the obesity risk is overvalued - and that apnea is under diagnosed, and under treated . I believe we’re also missing the the real problem, with the focus on weight.

Breathing issues often result in weight issues, for example.
