It is the ultimate in hypocrisy to ask others for something you aren't willing to do yourself. I, for one, will remind you of this every time you bring up GNU/Linux in this list.
These two cases are similar, but not in the way you think. In both cases a large structure that is basically GNU or of GNU has a component that is Linux or of Linux.
So why do we treat them differently? In general, there's no ethical obligation to cite each and every component of a larger structure in the structure's name. But in the case of "GNU/Linux" there are some specific reasons why it is useful and proper to mention "Linux" in the name. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#justgnu.
