First of all I'd like to preface this by saying that everything I write is with a light heart, and I'm not actually 'angry' or feeling any sort of ill will towards you. I know everything is weird now with COVID, and sometimes when we say stuff on the internet it might sound more aggressive than it is intended to. So, no matter what our different opinions are I love you dude, and if we were in person I'd buy you a beer.
That being said.

It is a completely plausible proxy for an unhealthy lifestyle. As in, not well or on the road to being not well (not judging those folks, but they're unhealthy and we want to help them get better because they're fellow humans and we love them).
So, I don't know, in summary, Vit D is complicated. That's all.

There are pathologies that cause it, but these are strongly in the minority.
