The person who called your suggestion "trash" was definitely being needlessly antagonistic, I'm with you there. There's no reason why you making a helpful suggestion that isn't 100% perfect deserves responses like that. At least you're trying to help, they're just being an ass.

people are acting like GrayJay is somehow worse than completely closed-source software that they use every day

I think it's more that people think of it in terms of what kind of software do they want to add to their daily habits? Regardless of whatever apps they use already that are privacy nightmares, the goal is probably to try only adding new apps that are great for privacy. It's not necessarily hypocritical to not have replaced everything yet, and still refuse to install new privacy concerns, even if they are less concerning than existing apps.
