Linux does not depend on GNU to work.

You can use alternative C compilers (tcc, clang), alternative libcs (musl, uclibc), alternative editors (vi, acme), alternative shells (zsh, fish), and alternative core utilities (busybox) and some distros do replace some or all GNU tools with alternatives.

You don't call it Plasma/Linux, you don't call it X/Linux, so why call it GNU/Linux?
