Are you saying that just to be contrarian? When somebody tells you they're running Linux on the laptop, you actually think they are owning a chrome book (considering that there are likely more chrome books than laptops with other linuxes), when you read a job add which requires Linux admin knowledge, you think they mean being able to install apps on android?
Speak for yourself.
In my mind, Linux is home routers, smart TVs, digital signage, tablets, smartphone, fridges, and yes, servers and workstations.
