You definitely have a point. A lot of people do not report super mild cases. That was true with Covid since Day 1. Some people I know never reported their covid to authorities.
I wish I could find some report explaining just what are the symptoms that get Omicron cases hospitalized.

I was under the assumption many of the 'hospitalized' were there for other reasons like in the UK but because Omicron is so extremely transmissible they were testing positive while already there. I could be mistaken.
That's what I just commented about. I have an elderly friend who was recently hospitalized here in the USA for normal ol' bacterial pneumonia and she tested positive for SARS-Cov-2, but have zero Covid symptoms. Doctors were totally uninterested and unworried about her positive test result, but she still had to be put in a 'Covid room' so I'm guessing it got recorded as a 'Covid hospitalization' even though it was not.

The UK has very good data on this. Incidental covid hospitalizations are rising, but hospitalizations actually for covid are rising just as fast: https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1473994500506849282
I saw mention of triple jabbed having trouble breathing. Anecdotal, not hospitalized (yet).
Extreme fatigue can be scary too
And a lot of GI issues and even neurological/movement issues in young people.
