These points don't seem to be an argument that harm has occurred.

What is harm? Does infringing someone's copyrights not count?

No, it sometimes does not. The crux is that this is a somewhat novel GPL violation, and their knee-jerk reaction to freeze development is extreme. It's a weird story.

They just "froze" upstream development, but it was purely performative; there isn't actually active upstream development.

If you wanted to fork it and continue development you certainly could.
