>It's called GNU/Linux.

The overwhelming majority of users call it "Linux" and don't care what the operating system's pronouns are.

Many Linux systems are running today without GNU coreutils or userland.

It's time to stop posting this flame bait.

This isn't a flame bait. GNU is exactly what's different between GNU/Linux and Android. So say it when it's the point.
