Torvalds did his fair share of work yes but he didn't invent the hundreds of tools that had already been written originally for Unix. It still mildly irks me when people call something like grep a "Linux tool" sure it's technically true now with all of the coreutils distributions on Linux originally being developed with Linux in mind, but obviously grep and most of the coreutils were first invented inside Bell Labs.
Nobody cares enough to acknowledge Bell Labs in any form, however. Except for a select amount of people who admired the Unix environment and were interested in the history of the development of such a neat little workspace.
