It had nothing at all to do with other people:

5. He created Linux because he didn’t have money for UNIX
In early 1991, unhappy with the MS-DOS and MINIX, Torvalds wanted to
buy a UNIX system. Luckily for us, he didn’t have enough money. So he
decided to make his own clone of UNIX, from scratch.

[...]

7. Linux was his main project in University
“Linux: A Portable Operating System” was the title of his thesis in
M.Sc.
