We were a VMware shop, albeit much smaller deployments. When a vendor increases prices up to 1000% (https://www.ciodive.com/news/att-broadcom-vmware-price-hikes-court-battle/728603/), you can bet that price is being passed along to consumers. VMware was by far the most popular virtualization platform prior to the acquisition, so it'd be a safe bet that you were affected by this from more than one company you deal with.

BMI is generally useful as a form of shorthand for whether somebody is a healthy weight. Body composition, specifically body fat percentage, matters more. Bodybuilders often fall into the obese category for their height but you generally wouldn't call them fat.
The original BMI calculation has received criticism for classifying shorter people and taller people incorrectly. Shorter people end up with a BMI that is proportionally too low and tall people proportionally too high.
You're fairly tall, but still fall squarely in the overweight category with the new calculation (https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/bmi_calc.html). Even with the new calculation, it's still a shorthand method and won't be accurate in all situations.
For a more accurate picture of whether you may want to consider losing weight, a Dexa scan will determine you body fat percentage. General guidance is <20% for men and <25% for women.
I was trying to answer the question in your second paragraph. Apologies for any confusion.
