Entropy is a physics term I refuse to accept as having much of any empirical status. The reason why is that water falling over a dam and driving a turbine below or just being a waterfall is not a state of entropy. The water comes back to become a body of water in the river below eventually. Gravity is not entropic because We don't find crystal formation or other forms of pattern order occurring without it. Before we have DNA we have to have gravity. Gravity is not a state of entropy. I do however give Verlinde credit for making his observation. There is a state of mater that could fool a person into thinking it is because of entropy that in integral to how gravity empirically behaves. Black body radiation will cause spot increased gravity anomalies. That is because of the interaction of photons. You have to read my thesis on the nature of photons being pure code to understand this .going back to the point I say that if you have a car moving at 50 miles per hour that suddenly stops and a bowling ball in the front seat is not seat belted in it will fly straight though the front window. ''
The ball is actually still moving in the direction that the car had been moving and does not stop. The frames of reference to a viewer outside is the ball is flying though the window but inside the car the view of things is different there it would seem that the ball just did not stop with the rest of the car and the rest of its contents. With photons striking an object it does not work that way. There the car is moving at 50 miles per our and the ball is in the back seat. Suddenly outside viewers see the ball flying out the back window of the speeding car that has not stopped but inside the car the view can be different. nothing shot the ball out the back of the window but somehow the ball stopped moving with the car because it did. maybe it was tethered to cord that suddenly stopped it and it appeared to fly or maybe something magical called a photon interacted and stopped it such that if flys thought the back window of the car that is still moving at 50 mph. That's exactly what the coding of interacting photons does . A photon interacting with mater causes explosive subatomic reactions on a tiny probably electron size scale. The photon does not hit and add energy but actually hits and takes energy of momentum that is underlying in all mater essentially stopping the electron in place which separates it from the rest of the atom that still has the ongoing momentum. Now that is where I started thinking about the entropic theory of gravity . though it is pretty much backwards from my research. There is nothing entropic about it. except that the underlying momentum of objects is its normalcy verses what would seem to be 'entropy' if seeming to fly off because the photon or a quantity of photon cases these subatomic particles just to stop while the rest of the atom keeps plowing ahead with its normal motion.
So I totally discount that theory of gravity and entropy being linked simply because it is not entropy but rather a frames of reference mimicking of entropy.
