There isn't a name for you, but what you're experiencing is strawman attacks Like the strawman argument where it creates a flawed argument to declare victory over, the strawman attack picks out the most extreme case to declare vic

tl;dr `realloc(p, 0)` is slated to be undefined behavior in C23, whereas it's been somewhat implementation defined until now, with recommendation being realloc(p, 0) is equivalent to free(p) Seems a bit tone deaf to create new undefine
