> complaining that multithreading is impossible in Python without using multiple processes, because of the GIL ... this is not true
I think some people's opinions is that if you're writing in C then you're not really writing a Python program, so they think it is impossible in Python. Which seems a reasonable point to make to me.
Your argument is that Python is fine for multithreading... as long as you actually write C instead of Python.
