Is the Torvalds interview available somewhere?

I thought he used his own hacked-up micro Emacs thing, but maybe he dropped it.

Aha, found it. No you're right it is his own hacked up emacs fork, but he does also say that it lacks color. Found it in the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCr_gb8rdEI&t=2415s

In this interview from last year he talks about using uemacs still and how it doesn't have syntax highlighting: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BHmyxsIdOHQ
