Who? Who has made this argument? What actually is the argument? FP literature is full of this admonition. FP papers constantly cite the primary benefits of FP and it's not the functionality.
Who specifically is he arguing against? You cite "no true Scotsman" but we lack even a false one to point to.

By including the word "credible," you are pre-emptively excluding some FP proponents as not being "true" FP proponents. So you've already committed yourself to applying the fallacy to evidence that anyone might present to you.
