I'm assuming they're talking about the fact that the main codification of Norse pagan mythology we have (the Younger Edda) was written by a Christian and clearly has some Christian influences in it. But it was written well after the society in question had converted to Christianity. On the other hand, during the period of time when both Christianity and paganism coexisted in the various Norse societies, I would not be in the least surprised to find that pagan worshippers borrowed some Christian elements -- paganism was far, far less focussed on having a specific canon of knowledge and ideas, so new elements could come in relatively easily. Bbut since we have very little evidence of what was actually going on, since pagans didn't write anything down, it's all speculation.

This. It wasn't just the Norse paganism either. Slavic paganism borrowed a lot from Christianity in the later centuries too.

This! we simply don't have any evidence of what that religion looked like before Christianisation. It doesn't mean that it didn't exist before Christianity.

Because Christianity has a single undisputed canon that hasn't been getting constantly changed and creating gajillions of different opposing factions of it, from the Schism to Mormonism.
