Please read the above mentioned FAQ. Your question is

there. You may [not] agree with it; but to say the least it proves
that your statement "GNU is adamant about GNU/* and not ... " is
clearly incorrect.
It's a chicken & egg situation. "Linux can't do
anything without GNU"
and "GNU is nothing without Linux"... oh wait GNU will have Hurd...
whenever it is ready...
Also, I feel that it's unfair that any contribution to FOSS be called
"secondary", especially key contributions such as Linux, X.org,
Apache... stuff without which Linux would never have gained any
recognition.

They're not wrong in asking for recognition for their work, so I
wouldn't say grab credit. It's just they they want everything that has
their tool suite (namely, all Linux distros) to have GNU/Linux instead
of Linux as recognition since "they are the principal contributors".
