Pipewire/Pulseaudio install a plugin for ALSA library so that ALSA applications audio is rerouted to audio daemon. So apps using ALSA can work at both systems with and without an audio daemon.

At this day and age there should not be a system without an audio daemon. At least not one, that is not broken. Apps should not certainly accommodate for broken systems, and forcing workarounds for the correct ones.
