That kind of language will get you kicked in the balls by engineers. Sure. It should make it "clear" that they're not running on *this OS or that OS.
And what should also be made clear is that statement is an assumption. A probable one, IMO, a reasonable one, but an assumption nonetheless and therefore no one can call it a fact unless they just want to pretend to be right.
I ojbect to using language like "it looks like a thing so it's OBVIOUSLY a thing, you morons" being presented as irrefutable evidence of some sort.
The fact that it's an assumption should further make it clear that no, this is not a fact, and stating it as a fact is bullshit or deliberate misrepresentation.
