So...these people have never seen a movie then?

I mean they can accept just about any kind of special effect in a movie as being possible, but editing videos to swap faces is a huge stretch?

Good point. I strongly suspect the worry about deep-fake videos is overstated. Yes some people will fall for them, just as some people fall for photo-shopped images and Nigerian email scams but that's just par for course - we'll have to deal with that. Also, it isn't like videos can't be faked today with out-of-context edits, CG, and audio manipulation (e.g. dubbing).
