The BMI was made for persons who are naturally skin and bones. If you're built that way, fine, but that isn't realistic.

For example, a trained, non-heavyweight boxer, partially or fully dehydrated, can barely make 160 pounds at 5' 9", let alone make that weight at 6' 1".

Makes sense. My wife sees me as a “big guy”. She said I have huge bones. It was confirmed when I had open heart surgery last march. I have a 12” scar in my chest. There was a LOT of bone there.

Some people just have delicate frames - even men. And some are ore substantial. The female version of the latter we call “amazon”.
