That's debatable. A system without those components would be much less
useful than with them. I.e. it would be much less of ``a system''.
In any case, since Debian distributes all of these components as part of
a whole, that distribution defines a ``system'', even if that's not the
only possible definition of a system (which seems to be the cause of your
disagreement).

The issue here is that various parts of a system distributed by Debian
have different licenses, so a kind of grab-all statement cited above is
misleading.
