Does anyone actually still think that the extra energy consumption caused by exercise will cause you to lose weight and not just eat more?

A more contemporary discussion would include the idea that the different state of being caused by exercise causes less food intake ... which incidentally is true for me personally.

It is entirely possible that people that exercise regularly never have any trouble with their weight and thus never show up in these studies.

Plenty of people on HN strongly think this.

The nutrition discussion on HN is normally fucking terrible. (See this thread where someone talks about "the science" and links to the Guardian as a reference).
