A lot of the userland _isn't_ GNU any more, people use a lot of alternatives for once much more dominant GNU tools, and people use a lot more commandline tools which have no relation to GNU. Systemd took over and for containers there's no init. Plenty of alternative libc implementations as well. GNU is nowhere near as dominant in the non-kernel code that people run any longer. And a lot of the GNU zealots who were particularly interested in getting credit with naming got old.
