I don’t think you get me if you may deny that the command emacs is just a lisp interpreter. The command (the executable binary called if you execute emacs from your shell) is no more than “python” is. It’s an Lisp interpreter. By default, it loads a bunch of scripts (except if you call emacs —script blabla.el). The “Lisp environment”, or more adequately the lisp interpreter, is always there as the core, but the application built on top of it, the end-user text editor, is also called Emacs. You will see that this description fits the one found in https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/.
