I do not have a strong opinion about it, but maybe 'Linux' is too broad, since it encompasses not only the GNU ABI but also other unrelated ABIs/runtimes (Go, Rust, Java, etc.). And it is also misleading because it is already partially supported on Android (which is essentially Linux), and some pieces are in binutils and LLVM.

I would leave the text as-is; it already states that it is a recommendation, and the ecosystem is free to implement it or not.
