  Clearly, it depends on the engineer.
  There are plenty of examples that disprove your claim.

  Task-specific spins of Linux were around over a decade ago.
  Ubuntu Electronics Remix [google.com]
  Fedora Electronic Lab [google.com]
  N.B. Those were bootable and 100 percent usable without even installing.
  Combine that with a thumbdrive for your work product/data files and you have a use-it-anywhere thing.

  ...and a Linux package manager makes it simple to get the apps you need[1], [google.com] even if those don't ship with the ISO of your preferred distro.

  ...and if your "Windoze-only" app is old enough, it will likely run via WINE.
  There are also guys whose app has become the industry standard because they made a commitment to always be WINE-compatible and who did that well over a decade ago. [google.com]
