But the vast majority of Linux users (in the form of Android, ChromeOS, and several others) do not have a single piece of GNU code anywhere to be seen, period.

That's the whole point of also mentioning GNU. The kernel Linux is also used to support other systems than GNU, such as Android, ChromeOS, etc.

If you expect the typical Bash user environment, then any GNU system will do (also Cygwin for instance). But don't look into Android for that. GNU and Android different systems that both happen to run on Linux.

I always laugh at the guys on ubuntu forums asking about how to install the current kernel on their 10.04 box...

This makes a lot of sense actually, because the hardware support of the regular kernel often doesn't cut it for newer systems, while the rest works perfectly fine when you have an updated kernel. There are even kernel backports provided in the regular repositories for this reason. The same is planned for the X.org server to keep up with hardware support.
