I think they need a reasonable screening mechanism, whatever that might be, but just letting OSA slide by is probably not the right answer. They wouldn't let any of that other stuff you mentioned slide if they had reason to suspect. And maybe establish a grace period give folks the opportunity to make sure they don't have OSA.
