User-facing apps are browser instances and VMs, and under that is a pretty normal userland. It's still a distribution of software on a Linux kernel. And for that matter, is Silverblue any less a Linux distro with its read-only root and apps in flatpak/distrobox? Are Qubes OS or Proxmox with everything in VMs?

People buying a Chromebook down at the mall will never see GNU userland.

Folks using Silverblue and Flatpak distributions get to use GNU userland.
