We recently got a 2007 Base FJ. It has the full plastic floor mat. Is this removable? Is carpet typically underneath? We’d prefer removable custom mats like WeatherTech that are easier to clean.

Photos would help us determine what mats you have, but the factory plastic mats used on 2007 FJs have little hooks that hold them in place for the front driver and passenger sides but they are indeed removeable. The rear floor mats and cargo area rubber mats aren't secured by hooks or anything so they should be easily removeable.
I think there were initially issues with Weathertech and the factory hooks (maybe that is why it is showing as incompatible. But, I have Weathertech installed on my FJ front and back...no issues.
I see I was confused, what you see and posted pictures of is simply the FJ Cruiser's floor. All FJ's have an all-plastic floor. There are no floor mats shown in your pictures, but FJ Cruisers could come from the factory with either rubber all-weather floor mats or more simple carpet floor mats. The 2 hooks you see in front of the driver and passenger side front seats are what the floor mats hook into to prevent them from moving around. It appears that your floor mats are missing but you were referring to the actual floor of the FJ. It you wanted to get floor mats, companies like WeatherTech sell aftermarket floor mats but you could also possibly find someone selling their factory floor mat set either here on the forums or on eBay.
Underneath the FJ's floor as previously stated is sound deadening material, but no carpet or anything like that.

On the weathertech site, 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser | Floor Mats - Laser measured floor mats for a perfect fit | WeatherTech, they say “The FloorLiner is designed for vehicles with factory carpet installed when manufactured. They will not fit vehicles with vinyl floors unless otherwise specified. Please take your old floor mats out before installing your new WeatherTech FloorLiner.”
I took that to mean they won’t won’t work for mine. Am I incorrectly reading this?

As others have said that’s the floor on FJ’s, so any floor mats designed for FJ’s will work. The weathertech’s are very nice, as are a few others like the husky liners that mimic the factory floor. Or the OEM carpet mats, the new all weather factory mats are okay, they just don’t hold as much muck as the weathertech or husky liners.
Note: you might need the floor mat clips if you don’t have them already. On the older FJ’s they were clips and on the newer ones they are twist clips and button clips in the rear for better retention of the floor mat. Either clip should work, as a lot of older FJ’s were converted to the newer clips. Example of the ones that would have been on your 07 FJ

Because of the other threads where folks had reported issues with Weathertech in their FJs, and because those same threads had folks who recommended Husky instead, I went with Husky brand, and they fit perfectly.

I was fortunate that when I bought my FJ almost 2 years ago,they came with Weathertech mats--the previous owner also left the carpeted mats that came with it.
Have been running Husky liners for 10 years now. Pretty much the same as Weathertech. I will say that the liners that are plastic will tend to move around a bit more than the rubber liners (even with the hooks on the FJ. For example the Classic Husky Liners which is what I have are plastic/vinyl:

The Husky Heavy Duty Floor Mats are rubber (I have them in my Pilot) and dont move as much as vinyl/plastic classic sytle
