GNOME/KDE/X11 have less ''market share'' than GNU. On servers, those aren't required and generally not used.

and

XFree86 and GNOME/KDE aren't neccesary to run on GNU/Linux

Well, it started like that with the old BSD style license too. It's just UC Berkley, no biggie. Without us you wouldn't have a system. Then others started to say, yeah, but without us you don't have a usable system, and so on and so on..
