But GNU utilities exist in *BSD camps as well, and the name GNU/*BSD is not used or required. A page explains that since Linux Distributions are more popular than *BSD distributions, it makes much more sense to attach to a more successful project.

Not to the same extent. The BSD's maintain their own versions of the c library and most userland tools so as to provide everyone with unrestricted copies in yet another waste of time and effort dictated by the GPL. gcc is a notable exception but I'm not sure it qualifies as part of an operating system anyway.
