From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're reading it wrong and misinterpreting the message. It's like me saying that your Celsius thermometer is wrong because water freezes at zero instead of 32. Just because you know why doesn't make one or the other wrong, it's just different.
That being said I think I would also prefer it the other way.
