I think the problem here is one level of abstraction further out. It's not whether anti-GMO types can keep you and I from buying GMO products -- indeed, it's unlikely that GMOs are going to have much to offer western middle class consumers.
The big kicker is the effect this battle have in the third world, where GMOs hold the potential of a much larger impact (see eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice ).

To be clear, there is nothing wrong with manufacturers selectively labeling their supply chain methods. There is a problem with forcing them all to, when there is no evidence to support it. Even with nutritional labels, consumers have a right to know what is in the good for making decisions based on health reasons.
