I think there is a distinction with these groups compared to suckless.

These software written by these groups is tightly coupled, relying on
shared libraries and APIs. They intend to create a cohesive and
integrated operating system.

Whereas the suckless software does not share code or APIs, at least as I
understand it, and does not seek to create a cohesive OS beyond the
classic loosely coupled "Unix" idea.
