If you are still having episodes then it is not a case of what the answers are here, you should be talking to your sleep professional to find what is best to solve your issues. We can only offer some partially informed opinions that reflect our experience, which, from what I have read, can vary wildly. The more I learn, the more I think people need to take it seriously and treat it with more importance.
I hope you can get your issues resolved,
I turned that off. LOL So I guess I didn't;t like it either.
As a non cpap user, why the seeming proliferation of these devices?
A huge outbreak of sleep apnea, compared with previous eons of human life?
Is the root cause obesity? A complaining spouse? A desire to sell medical equipment and services?
A lot of people have always had sleep apnea. It can be caused by a multitude of things. Weight, throat, jaw design etc... People are just tired of sleeping badly. Doctors are recognizing more that things patients complain about could be related. So a sleep study is done. Lots of electrodes and monitoring. It sucks. But they can see when you stop breathing. This can affect your heart. My fil's heart issues were caused by it because it was causing his heart to over strengthen from pumping too hard and adrenaline release. Again, it's always been there, it's just being recognized more.
What also would suck, for me, would be being attached to one of those things while I sleep.
Perhaps a solution in search of a problem.
Better than the alternative of bad sleep and other health issues,,,
What medical school did you go to again?
One thing that a friend / colleague only crystalised for me well after I had been using a CPAP machine for years already was that while the machine might help with providing more oxygen by improving my breathing and lowering the chance of the airway closing up.... Ultimately, our bodies are, for better or worse, more susceptible to our airways closing up more often than the average human, meaning we receive less air on average each night without machine. These machines help to improve that outcome. The other way of looking at it is... the body's natural response to an obstruction in the airway is to jolt the body into taking a breath, sometimes quite abruptly when needed..... For those with Sleep Apnea that response can be somewhat muted, though not entirely most of the time. The risk is that there may be a time where the body does not produce the natural response to jolt the body into taking the breath that it so desperately needs.
Personally, I'll take the inconvenience of a mask and machine, with all the other benefits it brings.

Ahh you did your research.... 
Why? Is there something you could do, like lose weight?
Lots of thin people and well built people have it. Please, if you don't understand stop criticizing people who do have it...
Untreated sleep apnea contributes to hypertension, low oxygen levels, strokes, heart attacks, heart failure and other issues.
CPAP is annoying but it can be literally life saving.
And Rick is correct, plenty of non-obese people have sleep apnea. That is only one risk factor.
I'm not criticizing.
That's your word.
There's a proliferation of these machines.
I see it on the battery forum I'm now on.
They carrying their 50 pound batteries with them on camping trips.
Airports? So you can wear the thing on a plane?
I won't say I couldn't lose weight.... 
As much as I agree with the points others have made in response to this comment.,,,
so? They've been around 30+ years.,... Not exactly new
If you’re flying somewhere and plan to sleep at night as most people do even while traveling, how else would you bring a battery with you?
Let's not get too hung up on definitions or the why's and where for's, or whatever the saying is... People smarter than me have deemed that this is a thing, and I certainly know that the first night of testing a machine was like chalk and cheese in how I felt, was like a drug.... So I'm hooked... As much as I have probably moved quickly to a state of having good and bad days still...
Didn't @danabw say something about airports?
Yes, but you seem incredulous about why that would be.
It’s obvious: if you need CPAP while you sleep at home, you need it while traveling too.
