I don't think that's the case at all. People who are aware of the
difference between Linux and Redhat usually know where to place the
Hurd -- if they have heard of it at all, of course. That's my
experience at least. YMMV.

The main misconception you have shown is that people think of Debian
as a Linux distribution, and naturally place Debian material
hierarchically under Linux. You can't blame them, the first paragraph
of <URL:http://www.debian.org> says (under "What is Debian?") that
"Debian uses the Linux kernel [...]".
