It does exist. Purple to us is a mix of red and blue. What internet pedants mean by it “not existing” is that there isn’t a “pure purple” light like there is for say red.

Busy mostly it’s just people saying it to sound smart. Its like saying “flavor doesn’t exist” because you can’t come up with a chemical that only has one ingredient and tasks exactly like lasagna.
