If this was true then people on keto diets could not build muscle and are constantly losing it, and this is obviously not the case.

Not true, it isn’t binary, but they would build muscle faster without keto.

So... That directly conflicts with your last post where you said you need to eat carbs or else "you will lose substantial amounts of muscle."

If you're losing weight, ie a calorie deficit. Keto is great for losing weight, not necessarily for building muscle. If your primary goal is to build muscle then carbs are an important part of your diet.
