You are 100% spot on, the general public sees it much, much differently than anorexia.
There is a video on YouTube of some football guy saying he developed binge eating disorder and the comments were like, can’t believe this is a thing, he needs to learn some discipline, just stop eating.
Pretty much anyone will develop binge eating if you went on a diet and restricted food, and now you eat the foods you can’t have for the day endlessly, so people just see it as a lack of will power instead of a disease.

To be 100% clear, though, not all fat people have BED. Those commenters aren't totally wrong -- if they were talking about your garden-variety chubster. The trouble is, the general public doesn't easily make the differentiation between someone who eats too much (and who might or might not also have some emotional problems) and someone with an actual eating disorder. Hell, a lot of experts probably struggle with that.
For the record, I'm not convinced AL has BED. In fact, I'm inclined to say she doesn't (though I'm admittedly not an expert). I was just responding to the question of why BED doesn't seem to be taken as seriously as anorexia or bulimia.
