Today it is not so: for example, very old Firefox builds don't run or crash on modern Linux. But that is the exact reason why "legacy Linux and Windows" doesn't work, and why APE works: you should target the "specific architectrure" directly instead of hopefully trusting that the entire underlying system is a completly static target. That or using containers/shim layers, those of course bringing such entire underlying system with them.
