No, it only works because Windows basically included something much like WINE (they call it WoW) in Windows, so old pieces of software aren't running on the modern libraries.
>it’s nigh impossible to compile a piece of Linux software that runs across every major distro in active use.
Sure you can, with Docker. It's effectively doing the same thing Windows does with WoW.
