Their statement is just as true if you insert "OSS" instead of "FOSS".

Playing the semantic game over what is or isn't "open source" is very draining sorry.

If I can look at it, that's open source software to me, you can define that phrase however you want and I'm happy with that too :)

There is no semantic game, open source software is a term of art with a much more specific meaning than the source being available. If you find this draining then you can simply stop trying to misappropriate the term.
