> That PFAS are very unreactive is meaningless. They still occupy volume and therefore affect kinematic rates and occupy reaction sites.

They're surfactants so they can interfere with basic processes in the intracellular matrix like cells sticking to each other and forming tissue. The long term epidemiological effects and in vitro studies are just getting started understanding the effects.
