Are you sure that there really are people who want to include those 85% in
GNU/Linux? I'm not. I have now seen several people state that "the whole
thing" is Linux, but I haven't yet seen anyone state that "the whole thing"
is GNU/Linux.
The other 85% has nothing to do with GNU, and is usually the driving
force behind people bothering to install the GNU portions at all. That
is, I don't install a system so I can run cp or tar or the other minor
infrastructure components, I install it to run some useful applications.
So it's not so much wanting to include the names of all the more
attractive applications in the distribution name as not seeing any
reason to glorify minor components that, after all, have their own
distribution anyway if anyone is interested in them on their own merits.
