So far I still have to take the accusation as a falsehood.

Their tactic is to discredit us by accusing us of something so blatantly wrong and then state that since we're wrong about that, we can't be trusted to be right about anything else.
That way, the lurkers, and any who really don't know any better, might be inclined to believe them. That's why we have to keep pointing out the fallacy of their accusations.
It's pretty sad when you have a product you can't sell on its own merits but only by trying to convince the prospective customer that the other product is so defective that yours is the only option left.
