This is the same take as people thinking wind energy steals wind, or solar energy reduces the sun’s efficacy.

Technically, a properly tuned receiver that’s using the signal for power can create radio “shadows” behind the device. People have also been caught with giant coils in their attic siphoning power from nearby radio stations and high voltage power lines, because they can detect the power draw.

Wind energy does.
It’s just that we can’t extract sufficient energy from it to have any meaningful impact.
