I very much agree.

I feel like people ITT are defining "headcanon" in two different ways. Some people are defining it as "something that you can reasonably believe might actually be canon," while others are defining it as simply, "the way someone likes to imagine the character (or some other aspect of the story)."

Personally I see the latter definition used a lot more than the former in modern fandom, so I tend to presume someone means the latter until they give me reason to suspect they mean the former.

I get why it bothers OP if people are arguing that this character who is demonstrably gay in canon is actually ace in canon. But if all people are doing is imagining him as ace and writing him as ace in their own fics--without arguing that he's canonically ace--then they aren't actually doing anything wrong and they should be left to their own devices.

I don't know what fandom they're in, but I have seen people in more than one fandom get bent out of shape because their particular headcanon wasn't universally accepted by the rest of the fandom as canon. I have also seen it happen in more than one fandom where someone's headcanon did become popular, and a huge portion of the fandom decided to treat it as canon, and this led to fights when newcomers to the fandom (or people who just had different headcanon) didn't apply the popular headcanon to their art/fic/whatever.
If it's just people having a headcanon that OP doesn't like, I can see being annoyed by it, but ultimately that's something we all have to deal with in any fandom. We complain, we move on. If it's more along the lines of the stuff I mentioned above, I can see where that would be a legit obnoxious thing to have to deal with, though.
