They don't make it "as much like Linux as possible". Although nobody except for rms uses that name, the OS is actually called GNU. And they're "just" replacing the kernels, not really building the separate OS.
While modern GNU (and related) userland is, indeed, has many strong ties to Linux, their first milestone is probably to get things working, so, I guess, getting rid of Linuxisms just isn't the priority.
