This is a slightly skewed way of looking at the talking point.
Yes, people say xbox one is at a disadvantage for not using gddr5.
Yes, xbox one doesn't actually NEED gddr5 because it wouldn't be able to take advantage of the extra speed anyway.

So far the OP addresses that fine.
However, the argument isn't that '1 is at a disadvantage because it's not using gddr5', the argument is that '1 is at a disadvantage because ps4 DOES make use of gddr5, and xbox doesn't'

You're turning an argument of 'which overall console is better' into 'this console has parts relative to its performance'. Not that it's your fault for misinterpreting, but nobody is bragging about the RAM simply because it's faster. They're bragging because the ps4 is OVERALL faster, so fast, that it needs gddr5.

Then these people need to brag about better GPU performance.

I've seen some any posts around the internet that list better GPU and GDDR5 RAM as "+" for PS4. GDDR5 RAM and memory bandwidth by itself don't mean squat if GPU isn't able to make use of it. Its the same thing...

Dis, it's just semantics.

As if the people you were talking to actually believed that gddr5 would make xb1 as fast as the ps4.

Unless you actually believe that people are saying that, I don't get the point of correcting them.
