Does gitlab have free integrated PR code review tools?

Yes. The free tier has the basic pull request functionality (called merge request). Some features (require approvals before PR merges from contributors, require approvers from certain groups) are limited to paid tiers on gitlab.com

Why, oh, why couldn't they have called it pull-requests.

Changing the terminology makes me not want to use gitlab.

Because pull request makes less sense than merge request. If you are building a new product why would you copy the mistakes of the competitors.

Take a new dev who has never used gitlab or git. Merge request instantly makes sense but pull request does not.

I won't dispute that my argument was emotional nonsense :)

But... But... Yes, I have no good arguments, but after 10 years of saying pull-requests anything else feels wrong.

I am not sure what you are asking, but yes you can create and review PRs in GitLab.

GitLab is GitHub but with more features and a smaller community. GitLab focuses more on code than community, at least from my experience with it.
