Why wouldn't Stallman just go and declare Debian the official GNU OS?

Debian has a policy of recommending non-free software as being legitimate.

Debian doesn't hinder non-free software enough

RMS isn't about hindering non-free software, he's about explaining to people why they should value freedom.

Actually this is exactly what Stallman tried to do. In the 90s the FSF and Debian had a partnership which led to things like Debian becoming "Debian GNU/Linux" and trying to isolate itself from "non-free software".
