Those of us using Java, such problems were already kind of irrelevant in 2005.
Where you deploy your EAR/WAR file doesn't matter, so the application container can be running on Windows, any UNIX flavour or even bare metal, what matters is there is a JVM available in some way.
Also on the big boys UNIX club (Aix, HP-UX, Solaris,...) systemd like alternatives have been adopted before there was such an outcry on GNU/Linux world.
On cloud platforms if you are using a managed language, this now goes beyond what Java allowed.
You couple your application with a bunch of deployment configuration scripts, and it is done, regardless of how it gets executed in the end.

The cloud is my OS.
