Comment on "Anisotropic Scattering Caused by Apical Oxygen Vacancies in Thin Films of Overdoped High-Temperature Cuprate Superconductors"

In Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 137001 (2022), Wang $\textit{et al}.$ address an important problem in the overdoped cuprates, taking the first steps toward understanding the structure of real defects in these materials, in this case the apical oxygen vacancy, $\mathrm{V}_\mathrm{O}$, that sits immediately above the planar Cu. However, the approach taken has some issues, which we outline in this Comment.
