It can still help, if used in precisely the right circumstance. Not that this makes your statement any less true, I'm just being needlessly pedantic.
One amusing thing I've noticed is that, playing the same game (Minecraft), Windows runs it ~25% faster in game mode than default NUMA.
In Linux the situation is reversed; it runs 10% faster with NUMA enabled, maybe because the Java garbage collector is NUMA-aware and I'm using enough memory that it's split across NUMA nodes anyway.

But either mode is faster in Linux than Windows.
