Based on the googles Braai comes from the Dutch word braden which is to grill over coals. BBQ comes from the Spanish word barbacoa which is a slow cook not directly over the coals.
Never any mention of dronk gatte so while it’s amusing to poke fun at non-chest-beaters it’s really just a cooking method that isn’t much different to any other.
Gathering to cook and eat seems quite normal in all cultures.

When you whatsapp me while having a braai it means there's a friend involved. So your BBQ is a braai.

Has the braai even ended if someone hasn’t been moered?

I'm old, getting moered hurts. So now we play rummikub, only drink singles and never complain about the braai dude's skills.
Same, a braai is just a lekker social time. You just make sure to take over when you see that one oke who can’t braai to save his life with the tongs in his hand.
