A rare bit of honesty there:

You're reading it incorrectly, by leaving out the question:
GNU is a small fraction of the system nowadays, so why should we
mention it?
GNU is arguing, in the quote you posted, that if it is inappropriate to
include GNU in the name for a GNU/Linux distribution, then it is even
more strongly inappropriate to call it "Linux". Linux is a much smaller
and less significant portion of a GNU/Linux distribution than GNU is.
Because everyone loves and admires Linus. You could take him home to Mom
and say "This is my friend, Linus." and she'd beam with approval. Take
RHS home to Mom for dinner.... it could get embarrassing.
You've obviously never had dinner with my family.
