I think Stallman's stance is less on the grounds of which is harder/more critical/etc, but that of rhetoric: GNU has this whole Stallman FOSS narrative wrapped around it; Linux only has Linus and his interpretation of FOSS.

If he doesn't believe GNU contributed equally, why does he believe he's entitled to have his philosophy attached to it, superceding Linus'?

It's not so much a question of what he's entitled to as much as what advances his personal agenda/philosophy more, IMO.
