ChromeOS barely uses GNU and specifically goes out of its way to use alternatives to GNU wherever possible. It doesn't use the GNU C library, doesn't use the GNU compiler collection. Is it GNU/Linux? Maybe, just barely. Most the GNU stuff is relegated to containers.
No strong feelings either way, but I think there's a point to be made about their avoidance of GNU tooling.
