No. They’re correct, there.
The app developer should not get to provide the message text for a prompt like that.
A secondary note somewhere in less than ten words, maybe, where it explicitly warns that the statement may be false.

In App Store apps, where these messages get human review, it could more safely be allowed.

This is the correct answer.
I don't really even care what OP's good intentions are, because the minute the app is sold, those good intentions are out the window. I use very few apps because I assume they are always going to potentially be adversarial to my interests.
The system warning is correct and should not be subject to the developer promising free candy to gullible users.
