I’ve been on cpap for a couple of years now, it has made a big difference.

Me too, huge difference.

But to the point of the article, when I have an appointment I spend 90%+ of my time with a trained tech who is not a doctor. He evaluates my results, consults, and cand set the pressure of my machine. Doctor comes in at the end but it seems like a waste. I can see if someone had pulmonary issues, but I’d guess most cases don’t.

You may want to look at recent studies. It appears that CPAP has no real effect on the *effects* of sleep apnea, although it can improve quality of life, in some cases. Unfortunately, we are still very early in the process of understanding sleep apnea, and dealing with it effectively. Contradictory and paradoxical studies abound.
