Are people that bristled by RMS that they're this obstinate about refusing to call it GNU/Linux?

Seems to be a No Real Linux fallacy...

I don't follow. Android isn't GNU/Linux. This makes it tempting to say GNU/Linux is what we want, except that ChromeOS is GNU/Linux (it's a Gentoo derivative) and Alpine isn't (it uses musl+busybox) so "user controlled Linux" really is probably the best term.
