So it's snake oil.It's only snake oil if you actually believe its improving your ability as an athlete outside of getting some fresh air and moving around for fun between skill training.

If you think Georges doing gymnastics is 'snake oil' then yes.
Any type of active recovery where you aren't stressing the body or having contact is wise for combat athletes. I don't think it matters what you do and if you get fresh air and a mental reset from the break, those are good things.
It's not that movement training is a waste of time it's that ido portal makes it seem like it's the most important thing in the world by making claims that are not true.
One claim was that learning his ido method gives his students the ability to perform every single martial arts kick that exist. While in reality each kick needs to be drilled with proper reps. You can't short cut things by some revolutionary training method.
I'm not familiar with him specifically outside of funny memes on this forum and some embedded video. I have no idea how seriously anyone would take those claims.
Of course thats nonsense. However, active recovery doing movement to give your body a break from training is a good idea.
