They say that GNU is spreading misinformation and "stop getting info from charlatans"?

100% agreed with you.

We do, however, need zealots in the ecosystem, they serve a purpose, we just can't let perfect be the enemy of good when it comes to usability, security, and privacy.

Seems the real issue is that GrapheneOS makes it possible to get google play installed via their sandboxing, that people take offence to calling it FOSS software...

Sure, fair enough, makes sense, they just need to fork the project and maintain the fork and don't include the sandboxing. It's a open code base (because its FOSS, heh) they can do whatever they want to it.

This is a very important point. I left the rest of the sentence not because it's not important but because most people understand that part.
