it's what vegans and fat people usually say
vegans say this because they have been brainwashed into thinking that only their method of training works, they are usually victims of marketing or autistic (inability to process alternative points of view is a sign of autism)
fat people say this because they repeat 4chan memes
every type of workout that makes you move and do shit is actually GOOD for you, period.
now it can be rephrased as
>calisthenics BAD for goal X
then we are talking, for instance if you just want to put size/muscle and that's all you care about then there's no faster and easier way to do it than by using weights, obviously (including weighted pullups and dips)
people don't just stick with calisthenics, they usually branch out into learning skills, streetlifting (competitions where people do weighted pullups, dips and muscle ups, aka main compounds), statics and all that
I would say calisthenics is great especially for beginners, it's dumb to go to a gym as a newbie and lift 5-10kg weights if you can't pullup or dip yourself even, since this shit is free you can get a decent base and then go hard on weights doing meaningful lifts to actually make progress, or stick to calisthenics if you actually like it more

>the weight isn't adjustable
it is, because it's a matter of levers, simple as
pullups too easy? try to pull more with one hand while assisting as little as you can with the other
pushups too easy? do pushups to waist, raise your legs from the ground, full extended legs planche pushups is peak upperbody push performance and it's scalable to zero with knee pushups
rows too easy? same as above, row to your waist, raise your legs to do tuck front lever pullups/rows, extend your legs and get a very demanding lift that's also peak upperbody pulling strength and it's also scalable to literally zero
