Now I think it is becoming clear that the main point of my question is indeed
this seeming contradiction:
>> * Emacs runs on Windows. Instructions and reasons are stated clearly
>> (as you quoted)
>
> Which I am indeed questioning why it is handled by GNU, too.
>
>> * Guix OS technically runs on normal, unqualified Linux Kernel (not just
>> Linux-Libre). However,
>> it is not "advertised" (the verb seemingly preferred by the community)
>> and even the discussion thereof is shunned.

Thank you for technical corrections. 😄 (To move away from Linux-Libre, all
that's needed [as you mentioned, nonguix, for example] is a config change
though - I know it because I practice it myself)
PS2
Regarding the technical wording of what is Linux, I have seen so many people
going into various details of what it means But I still think, albeit without
much understanding of the technicalities, the basic fact of the matter is:
- Linux-Libre exists so that unaccountable (meaning no source code, not Free
Software) binary drivers are removed
- Linux, as opposed to above, does include (although there might be further
technical delineations of how driver files are packaged and given names) the
Blob drivers
