They did, in the forums, in that thread. People ignored it and escalating the false claims about the license violations. When one of the forum posters tried to dox the community manager, they shut down the forum.

Being reasonable only works with reasonable people. By and large, the people who rail against things they don't understand are not reasonable people.

But nowhere in more official documentation?

Ignored it, or just dismissed it because they have reason to think it is not possible to run the kernel and/or other parts on that hardware without modifications that would be covered by the GPL?

That is definitely not acceptable behaviour, granted. Though it isn't a reason they stated for closing the forum.
