All good points. I’m seeing my primary care physician with data from Fitbit the first time next week. Normally they just prescribed different sleep drugs, but none does anything for me. I think that up to this point, they probably assumed I was exaggerating the issues.

If this is correct that you are only getting 2 hrs sleep, and not just the data from your watch telling you bad number, your primary physician likely won't know enough about sleep to help.
Go see a sleep specialist.
The drugs will help you get unconscious, they don't help with sleep.
A CBT-I app is likely not the solution for you either.

Current sleep specialist just upsold me another cpap and plied me with more drugs. I don’t think they understand how bad it is, hence the Fitbit.

It’s something. I hate them though
> A CBT-I app is likely not the solution for you either.
I’d sacrifice a goat in Times Square if I thought it would help

I am open to recommendations of psychiatric hospitals that have effective sleep programs. Can you name any?

Might also want to try an psychologist. The person you go to often suggests solutions that they're familiar with. Meaning, if they often cure things with drugs they'll likely give you such a solution.
You didn't really specify the problem. Sometimes it could just be the brain. E.g. sleeping issues occurs more often with ASS. So see various types of specialists so that you're not stuck to the things a specialists knows about. Might be that another specialist more easily can spot your issue.
Also, as a side note, cognitive behavioral therapy may feel like it is infantlizing you because it is digging up stuff that an adult should be able to understand and process more or less effortlessly on their own. But that's kind of the point of that therapy.
