The number of lines of Elisp my Emacs uses (counting plugins, but also built-ins) is actually more than twice the number of lines of C.

It's not that "Emacs contains an interpreter", rather it's "Emacs has all these features written in Elisp [...a looong list here...] Oh, and it also has an interpreter to execute it all".
