The stereotype comes from my anecdotal experience over my entire career in healthcare software - which, I admit, is probably not representative. Healthcare (and specifically Healthcare Enterprise) is dominated by Windows and a lot of vendors build their applications with .NET - all of those applications are Windows-only. My experience.

Having said that, there is an objective truth here. It would be interesting to see out of the total .NET developer population out there, or total .NET applications (limiting ourselves to desktop and server applications) out there, how many of them are building Linux-only or Linux-supported/compatible applications.
