Does sleeping in a chair even do anything positive to help apnea? I've never heard of this as a treatment.

A lot of obstructive sleep apnea is caused by weak muscles around the airway which cause it to collapse a bit under gravity, making the airway smaller and obstructing the airway. Sleeping in a more upright position would reduce/eliminate some of this from occurring.
