I agree. The point was slightly sarcastic.
However they're just the foundations on which you teach. Programming languages, tools and software packages are the important bits. Which OS doesn't matter really. Neither does any red vs blue pill selection.
Most of my knowledge is applicable to any platform as it's fairly generic. I avoid specialisation for this reason.
I can sit down on any machine and be productive straight away regardless of if it's open source or a feudal empire. That's what we should be teaching.
