Who has claimed that they are?

Has it? I don't see that. What I see are differences of the
interpretation of "Pynchon's Politics" and the refusal to discuss that
by the "shitty-essay"-fraction.

Any serious critique of pynchon's works wouldn't try to exclude its politics.

IV clearly is no protest novel, the reminder of Woodstock is just a
"faded Country Joe & the Fish T-shirt" (1). But it tells how the
Manson-case has been used to slur the hippies and the counterculture
in general and how the hippies fell into private consumer culture.
